In the NT Public Sector employees are employed under various legislation including awards and agreements made under Commonwealth law (Workplace Relations Act) and Northern Territory law, principally the Public Sector Employment and Management Act (PSEMA) and its subordinate legislation, such as By-laws, Employment Instructions and Determinations.

These laws exist in a hierarchy which results in terms and conditions specified in enterprise agreements taking precedence over those in awards, which in turn take precedence over those in the Public Sector Employment and Management Act.
