Arbitration agreement signing rules govern voluntary reference of industrial disputes through authorised representatives and consent of arbitrators. Voluntary reference of an industrial dispute to arbitration must be made through an arbitration agreement in Form V, signed by the employer and workers and accompanied by the consent of the arbitrator or arbitrators. The rule specifies who may validly sign for an employer, for workers acting through a registered Trade Union or authorised representatives, and for an individual worker, and also defines the authorised office-bearers who may act as an officer.
