            (a)         has been made between —

                  (i)         an employer and an employee under a contract of employment; or

                  (ii)         an employer and employees under contracts of employment;

                and

            (b)         has come into force,

                no award, whether existing or future, applies to —

            (c)         that contract or those contracts of employment; or

            (d)         the employer or any such employee as a party to any such contract,

                so long as the workplace agreement remains in force.

        (2)         Where a workplace agreement has been made as mentioned in subsection (1)(a), in relation to any contract of employment, and has come into force, any award provision that applied to that contract immediately before that coming into force is not to be implied into, or in any way read as being part of, the workplace agreement unless the agreement expressly so requires.

        (3)         A workplace agreement also has the effects described in sections 7B, 7C, 7D and 7E of the Industrial Relations Act 1979 .

        (4)         A workplace agreement does not displace the contract of employment between an employer and an employee but while it is in force it has effect —

            (a)         as if it formed part of that contract; and

            (b)         regardless of any provision of that contract.

        (5)         Subsection (1)(c) may be extended by an agreement of the kind described in section 14(2).
