INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS ACT 2016 - SECT 406M

406M Relationship of contract instrument with courier service contract

(1) This section applies to a courier service contract—

(a) in effect when a contract instrument came into operation; or

(b) entered into after a contract instrument came into operation.

(2) The contract instrument prevails over the courier service contract to the extent of any inconsistency.

(3) The courier service contract must be interpreted, and takes effect, as if it were amended to the extent necessary to make the contract consistent with the contract instrument.

(4) However, there is no inconsistency only because the courier service contract provides for working conditions at least as favourable for the independent courier as the contract instrument.
