The collective agreement is an important document that can prevent conflicts, strikes and instability in the company, and it may therefore be worth planning in advance for all design and signing phases. The draft collective agreement drawn up by the Commission is subject to mandatory discussion by the staff of the organisation. The draft should be finalised by the Commission taking into account all comments and proposals. In the event of disagreement on the provisions of the collective agreement, the collective agreement and the disagreement protocol must be signed within one month of the date on which the disagreement occurred. IGC labour law requires the inclusion in the collective agreement of the following mandatory provisions: a signed collective agreement must be submitted for verification and monitoring within one month of the signature of the local labour inspectorate. Either party may enter into collective bargaining, while the party informed of the commencement of collective bargaining must review the proposal and enter into negotiations within ten days. If there are several employee representatives within the organisation, they form a single representative body which participates in the activities of the Commission, in the discussion and signature of the collective agreement. The labour law of the Republic of Kazakhstan on collective agreements is not comprehensive and contains only basic information on the design, negotiation and signing of collective agreements, as well as on the content and structure of collective agreements. Under IGC labour law, the main stages of the collective agreement are as follows: for the negotiation and design of collective agreements, the parties (employers and employees) form a joint committee. The number of members of the Commission, its composition and the time limits for drawing up and signing the collective agreement shall be fixed by the parties. A collective agreement is a contract that establishes important working conditions in a company. The current labour law of the Republic of Kazakhstan (RK) requires only one collective agreement in a company, while the old version of the IGC Labour Code did not require the number of collective agreements in a company. .
