Application for approval of the Artcraft Production (Vic) Enterprise Agreement 2025
Introduction
Artcraft Pty Ltd (the Employer) has made an application for approval of a single-enterprise agreement known as the Artcraft Production (Vic) Enterprise Agreement 2025 (the Agreement), pursuant to s 185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) (the Act).
National Employment Standards (NES) Issues
I note that clause 32.6(a) (Public Holidays) may be inconsistent with the National Employment Standards (NES). However, clause 5.2 (Relationship to the National Employment Standard) of the Agreement operates to provide that more beneficial entitlements of the NES will prevail where there is an inconsistency between the Agreement and the NES. Consequently, I am satisfied that the terms of the Agreement do not contravene s 55 of the Act.
Section 186, 187, 188
I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss 186, 187 and 188 of the Act as are relevant to this application for approval have been met.
Section 183 Bargaining Representatives
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, have given notice under s 183 of the Act that it wants the Agreement to cover it. In accordance with s 201(2), I note the Agreement covers the “Automotive, Food, Metals, Engineering, Printing and Kindred Industries Union” known as the Australian Manufacturing Workers’ Union (AMWU).
Approval
The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s 54 of the Act, will operate seven days after approval.
