Employers and employees can enter into individual flexibility arrangements (IFAs) which alter the way an award or enterprise agreement applies to an employee. This can change the way some entitlements, such as penalty rates or allowances, apply in your employment. An employer can't force you to enter into an IFA. If you feel that you are being pressured to do so, you should contact us. In order to create an IFA, the employer is required to ensure that you are better off overall than you would be normally under the award or enterprise agreement. This may mean that you receive additional benefits in one area to compensate for those changed in another area. If you believe that you are not better off overall, you should not enter into the IFA.
