COLES GOULBURN (NUW) DISTRIBUTION CENTRE ENTERPRISE AGREEMENT 2013

COMMISSIONER ROE	MELBOURNE, 5 SEPTEMBER 2013

Application for variation of Clause 2 of the Coles Goulburn (NUW) Distribution Centre Enterprise Agreement 2013.

[1] An application has been made for approval of a variation of the Coles Goulburn (NUW) Distribution Centre Enterprise Agreement 2013 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.217 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) by Coles Group Supply Chain Pty Ltd.

[2] The application was made at the same time as the application for approval of the agreement (AG2013/8696). The parties covered by the Agreement support the application. I am satisfied that the variation seeks to correct an obvious cross reference error. That error if left uncorrected could lead to some ambiguity or uncertainty about the entitlements of employees and the coverage of the Agreement.

[3] The Commission is satisfied that there is ambiguity and the variation sought removes that ambiguity.

[4] The application is approved and the Agreement is varied by deleting in Clause 2.1 the reference to Clause 5 and replacing it with Clause 6.

[5] The variation operates from 5 September 2013.
