Common confusion points
Not knowing who qualifies as an 'Applicant' or authorized employee—only those directly involved in the termination request can use this form.
Forgetting to serve copies of both Form F24A and the main Form F24 to all covered parties, which is required by rule 2 on page 1.
Mistaking this form for a general permit variation (it's specifically for enterprise agreement terminations).
Not checking if you need legal representation before submitting—while not mandatory, some situations require notice per Form F53.
