Relationship with AWAs and ITEAs. If you are: employed on an AWA or an ITEA in a Band 2 role or below, and not a qualified legal practitioner in Telstra’s Legal Services business unit, then you are covered by this Agreement but it does not apply to you. This means that your AWA/ITEA will continue to set your terms and conditions unless it is terminated (which you can choose to do – though you don’t have to – once it has passed its nominal expiry date). If your AWA/ITEA is terminated, then this Agreement will set your terms and conditions. There are some rules set out below about how Telstra will pay you if this happens. Depending on when your AWA expired and what job you are in, you will either become a Job Family Employee or have a choice whether to become a Job Family Employee or a Workstream Employee. The definitions of Job Family Employee and Workstream Employee are in the Dictionary at the back of this Agreement. They set out what type of employee you would be if you terminate your AWA/ITEA. You can find further information about AWAs/ITEAs and your options on the intranet. The awards that underpin this Agreement are set out in Appendix E. These awards (and any modern Telstra enterprise award that is made during the life of this Agreement) do not apply to you when the Agreement operates. Fair Work Australia will check that you are better off overall under the Agreement compared to the awards in Appendix E when deciding whether to approve the Agreement.
