Application for approval of the Boandik Lodge Inc. Professional Health Practitioners Enterprise Agreement 2012 .

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Boandik Lodge Inc. Professional Health Practitioners Enterprise Agreement 2012 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) by Boandik Lodge Inc. The Agreement is a single-enterprise agreement.

[2] On 6 May 2013, I wrote to the parties to seek clarification about one aspect of the Agreement, namely an obvious typographical error in clause 7.1.

[3] The employer provided clarification of the correct wording in clause 7.1.1 (d)  Entitlement to Annual Leave as follows:

(d) For the purposes of the additional week of leave, a shiftworker is an employee who works for more than four ordinary hours on 10 or more weekends during the year in which their annual leave accrues.

[4] This is the evident intent of the Agreement and I have dealt with the application on this basis.

[5] 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.

[6] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54 of the Act, will operate from 16 May 2013. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 31 December 2015.
