Illustration for Wages Protection Act 1983

This Act does not stop you from following rules in a collective agreement, as defined in the Employment Relations Act 2000. You can still comply with any provision in a collective agreement. You can also follow any order made by the Employment Court or the Employment Relations Authority under the Employment Relations Act 2000.
