DISPUTES SETTLEMENT PROCEDURE 9.1 A major objective of this Agreement is to eliminate lost time and/or production arising out of disputes or grievances. Disputes over any work related or industrial matter (including a dispute about whether a workplace right has been breached) or any matters arising out of the operation of the Agreement or incidental to the operation of the Agreement should be dealt with as close to its source as possible. Disputes over matters arising from this Agreement (or any other dispute related to the employment relationship or the NES, including subsections 65(5) or 76(4) of the Fair Work Act) shall be dealt with according to the following procedure.
9.2 The pre-dispute status quo shall prevail while the matter is being dealt with in accordance with this procedure.
9.3 All Employees have the right to appoint a representative in relation to a dispute. It is the express priority of all Parties to attempt to settle a dispute at the workplace level at first instance.
9.4 In the event of any work-related grievance arising between the Employer and an Employee or Employees, the matter shall be dealt with in the following manner:
(a) The matter shall be first submitted by the Employee/s or his/her job delegate/ employee representative or other representative, to the site foreperson/supervisor or the other appropriate site representative of the Employer and if not settled, to a more senior representative of the Employer.
(b) Alternatively, the Employer may submit an issue to the Employee/s who may seek the assistance and involvement of the job delegate/employee representative or other representative.
(c) If still not resolved, there may be discussions between the relevant Union official (if requested by the employee/s), or another representative of the employee, and senior representative of the Employer.
(d) Should the matter remain unresolved, either of the parties or their representative shall refer the dispute at first instance to FWC for review. FWC may exercise conciliation and/or arbitration powers in such review.
9.5 This procedure shall be followed in good faith without unreasonable delay.
9.6 If any party fails or refuses to follow any step of this procedure the non-breaching party will not be obligated to continue through the remaining steps of the procedure and may immediately seek relief by application to FWC.

Defense and Settlement of Third Party Claims The Indemnifying Party shall have the right (without prejudice to the right of any Indemnified Party to participate at its or his own expense through counsel of its or his own choosing) to defend against any Third Party Claim at its or his expense and through counsel of its or his own choosing and to control such defense if the Indemnifying Party gives written notice of its or his intention to do so within 15 business days of its or his receipt of notice of the Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully in all reasonable respects in the defense of such Third Party Claim and shall make available to the Indemnifying Party or its or his counsel all pertinent information under their control relating thereto. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to elect to settle any Third Party Claim; provided, however, the Indemnifying Party shall not have any indemnification obligation with respect to any monetary payment to any third party required by such settlement unless the Indemnifying Party shall have consented thereto. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to elect to settle any Third Party Claim subject to the consent of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if the Indemnified Party fails to give such consent within 15 business days of being requested to do so, the Indemnified Party shall, at its expense, assume the defense of such Third Party Claim and regardless of the outcome of such matter, the Indemnifying Party's liability hereunder shall be limited to the amount of any such proposed settlement. The foregoing provisions notwithstanding, in no event (a) may either Indemnifying Party adjust, compromise or settle any Third Party Claim unless such adjustment, compromise or settlement unconditionally releases the Indemnified Party from all liability, (b) may the Company Indemnifying Party adjust, compromise or settle any Third Party Claim if such adjustment, compromise or settlement affects the absolute and sole right of Provant or the Surviving Corporation to own or use any of the Company's assets or (c) may the Company Indemnifying Party defend any Third Party Claim which, if adversely determined, would materially impair the financial condition, business or prospects of Provant or the Surviving Corporation.

If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 8.05(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
Dispute Settlement 1. A Party may not initiate proceedings under the general dispute settlement provisions of this Agreement regarding a refusal to grant temporary entry under this Chapter unless: (a) the matter involves a pattern of practice; and (b) the business person has exhausted the available administrative remedies regarding the particular matter.
2. The remedies referred to in subparagraph 1(b) shall be deemed to be exhausted if a final determination in the matter has not been issued by the competent authority within one year of the institution of an administrative proceeding, and the failure to issue a determination is not attributable to delay caused by the business person.
Dispute Settlement Procedures Principles
a) This procedure is designed to promote the resolution of issues that arise at the lowest possible level and to provide a step-by-step process which will be accessed if the parties are genuinely unable to resolve the issue.
b) At each step in the procedure, reasonable time is to be allowed for the parties to resolve the matter. The parties agree not to proceed to each next step in the procedure until the previous step has been completed. Following these procedures will ensure the dispute is resolved in the most efficient manner.
c) In the event of a dispute in relation to a matter arising under this agreement, in the first instance the parties will attempt to resolve the matter at the workplace by discussions between the employee or employees concerned and the relevant supervisor and, if such discussions do not resolve the dispute, by discussions between the employee or employees concerned and more senior levels of management as appropriate. If the matter is not resolved at this level, the grievance shall be referred to the designated management representative.
d) Should the matter remain unresolved at this level, the Employee, at his/her discretion, may nominate a representative to meet with the Supervisor, the designated manager,and the Consultative Committee to resolve the issue.
e) A party to the dispute may appoint another person, organisation or association to accompany or represent them in relation to the dispute.
f) If a dispute in relation to a matter arising under the agreement is unable to be resolved at the workplace, and all agreed steps for resolving it have been taken, the dispute may be referred to the Australian Industrial Relations Commission (the Commission) for resolution by mediation and/or conciliation. Any solution proposed by the Commission or another third party must be consistent with the Construction Code and Guidelines and relevant legislation.
g) It is a term of this agreement that while the dispute resolution procedure is being conducted work shall continue normally. The circumstances that applied prior to the dispute arising shall apply until final resolution of the matter.
h) Any dispute referred to the Commission under this clause should be dealt with by a member agreed by the parties at the time or, in default of agreement, a member nominated by either the head of the relevant panel or the President.
i) This dispute resolution procedure does not apply to Occupational Health and Safety matters. It is expected that the Occupational Health and Safety Representatives will follow appropriate procedures in the resolution of any Health and Safety matters.
Defense and Settlement The Receiver shall have the right, in its discretion, to (i) defend or settle any claim or suit against the Assuming Institution with respect to which the Receiver has indemnified the Assuming Institution in the same manner and to the same extent as provided in Article XII, and (ii) defend or settle any claim or suit against the Assuming Institution with respect to any Liability Assumed, which claim or suit may result in a loss to the Receiver arising out of or related to this Agreement, or which existed against the Failed Bank on or before the Bank Closing Date. The exercise by the Receiver of any rights under this Section 9.3(a) shall not release the Assuming Institution with respect to any of its obligations under this Agreement.
