need a succinct definition for "award"

[akkxn]

also, how does it differ to a certified agreement and AWAs

lol eric lurking

CENTRALISED EMPLOYEE RELATIONS AGREEMENTS:

Awards: a legally binding contract setting out the minimum terms and conditions for workers within an entire industry – normally negotiated by a union on behalf of workers.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________

DECENTRALISED EMPLOYEE RELATIONS AGREEMENTS:

Collective agreements (AKA: certified agreements): Negotiated by workers (although, often the relevant unions will undertake this duty) with their employers or their representatives. Certified agreements suit large workplaces where the time involved in negotiating separate contracts for all workers would be too great. Collective agreements are considered and certified by the Australian Industrial Relations Commission.

Australian Workplace Agreements (AWAs): These were individual contracts between the worker and their employer (although unions can negotiate on behalf of the worker if required).


** As you can see, Awards are usually part of a centralised system whereby employees within an ENTIRE industry receive the same pay and conditions...  and AWAs and collective/certified agreements are part of a decentralised system whereby pay and conditions can be negotiated at the individual workplace rather than throughout the industry as a whole.... this allows for increased flexibility because employees can negotiate specific pay that best suits their needs and wants....

Define: Social responsibility. kgo

lol.. this is a hard term to actually define.. but my definition is something like this:

Social responsibility refers to the wider concern for the society at large as a result of the organisations actions - beyond that imposed by laws.

I had Social responsibility is a commitment by the organisation to a community, above and beyond what the law demands. But I think yours is better. *steals*

lol i need a definition as well, for organisational change

[Noblesse]

Organisational change: is the process of altering an organisation and establishing a new form

[Mikey123]

I would go it's a planned or unplanned response by the organization to external or internal pressures, that might ultimately alter the running of an organization.
