COMMISSIONER ROE	SYDNEY, 10 FEBRUARY 2016

Application for approval of the Principals (Archdiocese of Sydney) Enterprise Agreement 2016.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Principals (Archdiocese of Sydney) Enterprise Agreement 2016 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by Catholic Commission for Employment Relations. The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.

[2] I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss.186, 187 and 188 as are relevant to this application for approval have been met. The Agreement does not cover all of the employees of the employer, however, taking into account the factors in Section 186(3) and (3A) I am satisfied that the group of employees was fairly chosen.

[3] The Independent Education Union of Australia being a bargaining representative for the Agreement, has given notice under s.183 of the Act that it wants the Agreement to cover it. In accordance with s.201(2) I note that the Agreement covers the organisation.

[4] The Agreement was approved on 10 February 2016 and, in accordance with s.54, will operate from 17 February 2016. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 31 December 2016.
