CITYWIDE SERVICE SOLUTIONS ENTERPRISE AGREEMENT 2019

Local government administration
DEPUTY PRESIDENT CLANCY	MELBOURNE, 19 FEBRUARY 2020

Application for approval of the Citywide Service Solutions Enterprise Agreement 2019.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Citywide Service Solutions Enterprise Agreement 2019 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by Citywide Service Solutions Pty Ltd. The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.

[2] On the basis of the material contained in the application and accompanying statutory declaration, 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.

[3] I note that elements of Clauses 7.8, 8.4 and 9.1 are inconsistent with the National Employment Standards (NES). However, given the NES precedence clause at Clause 1.7 of the Agreement, I am satisfied that the more beneficial entitlements of the NES will prevail.

[4] The Australian Municipal, Administrative, Clerical and Services Union Vic/Tas Authorities & Services Branch Union, known as the Australian Services Union (ASU) and 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) and based on the statutory declaration provided by the ASU, I note that the Agreement covers the ASU.

[5] The Agreement was approved on 19 February 2020 and, in accordance with s.54, will operate from 26 February 2020. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 30 June 2022.
