COMMISSIONER RYAN	MELBOURNE, 3 FEBRUARY 2014

Application for approval of the Apex Labour Services Pty Ltd Metals Labour Hire Agreement 2013-2016.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Apex Labour Services Pty Ltd Metals Labour Hire Agreement 2013-2016 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) and was made by Apex Labour Hire Services Pty Ltd. The agreement is a single-enterprise agreement.

[2] I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss186, 187 and 188 as are relevant to this application for approval have been met.

[3] The “Automotive, Food, Metals, Engineering, Printing and Kindred Industries Union” known as the Australian Manufacturing Workers’ Union (AMWU), being a bargaining representative for the Agreement, has given notice under s.183 of the Act that it wants the Agreement to cover it. As required by s.201(2) I note that the Agreement covers the organisation.

[4] The application was not lodged within 14 days after the agreement was made. The Applicant requested an extension of time. Pursuant to s.185(3)(b), in all the circumstances I consider it fair to extend the time for making the application to the date it was actually made.

[5] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54(1), will operate from 10 February 2014. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 30 June 2016.
