96F  Authorisation of multiple‑business agreements

 (1) An employer may apply to the Employment Advocate for an authorisation to make or vary a multiple‑business agreement.

 (2) The regulations may set out a procedure for applying to the Employment Advocate for the authorisation. The Employment Advocate need not consider an application if it is not made in accordance with the procedure.

 (3) The Employment Advocate must not grant the authorisation unless he or she is satisfied that it is in the public interest to do so, having regard to:
 (a) whether the matters dealt with by the agreement (or the agreement as varied) could be more appropriately dealt with by a collective agreement other than a multiple‑business agreement; and
 (b) any other matter specified in regulations made for the purposes of this subsection.
