When making an IFA, the employer is responsible for ensuring their employee will be better off overall. The better off overall test involves weighing up the advantages and disadvantages of the IFA to the employee. You should compare the employee's entitlements under the proposed IFA against their entitlements under their award or registered agreement. When deciding if the employee is better off overall you should consider the following questions:
- What is the employer's responsibility when making an IFA?
- What does the 'better off overall' test involve?
- How should an employer compare an employee's entitlements under an IFA?
- What factors should be considered when determining if an employee is better off overall?
- What are the potential advantages of an IFA for an employee?
- What are the potential disadvantages of an IFA for an employee?
- Why is it important to compare entitlements under an IFA with those under an award or registered agreement?
- What questions should be asked to assess if the employee is better off overall?
- How might the 'better off overall' test impact the decision-making process for employers?
- In what ways can an employee's situation change as a result of an IFA?
