Application for an order relating to instruments covering new employer and transferring employees in agreements

1. 1835i Group Pty Ltd (Applicant) has made an application pursuant to s.318 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Act) for an order that the ANZ Enterprise Agreement 2015 - 2016 (Agreement) does not cover the Applicant in respect of six relevant transferring employees (Amar Kashyap; Andy Chu; Ricardo Ferrerai; Cassandra Dessein; Joel Wasserman; Paul Hayat) who perform the work contained within the classification structure of the Agreement. The Agreement nominally expired on 30 September 2018. The Applicant is the new employer of relevant transferring employees.

1. The Applicant has filed an affidavit in support of its application, made by Mr Justin Greenstein (sworn 22 February 2022). In determining whether or not to make the orders sought by the Applicant, and in taking into account each of the matters set out in s.318(3) of the Act, I have relied upon the evidence of Mr Greenstein. Specifically, I note that the relevant transferring employees support the order/s sought by the Applicant, and that such relevant transferring employees will not be disadvantaged (in their terms and conditions of employment) if the orders sought are made. I take the matters set out under s.318(3)(d) to (f) of the Act to be neutral considerations that do not weigh against the making of the orders sought, and that there are no public interest concerns in making the orders. 

1. Taking into account the matters set out in s.318(3) of the Act, on an individual and collective basis, I have determined to exercise my discretion to make the orders sought by the Applicant pursuant to s.318(1) of the Act. Orders in this regard will be issued contemporaneously with this decision.
