SENIOR DEPUTY PRESIDENT O'CALLAGHAN	ADELAIDE, 24 SEPTEMBER 2013

Application for approval of the Premier Electrical Services Enterprise Agreement 2013 - 2016.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Premier Electrical Services Enterprise Agreement 2013 - 2016 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by the Communications, Electrical, Electronic, Energy, Information, Postal, Plumbing and Allied Services Union of Australia (CEPU) and The Trustee for Benzija Family Trust T/A Premier Electrical Services Pty Ltd. The Agreement is a single-enterprise agreement.

[4] The CEPU, 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) of the Act I note that the Agreement covers the organisation.

[5] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54 of the Act, will operate from 2 October 2013. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 31 August 2016.
