Application for approval of the Administrative Staff Employed by the Electrical Trades Union of Employees Queensland Enterprise Agreement 2022
An application has been made pursuant to s 185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) for the approval of a single enterprise agreement known as the Electrical Trades Union of Employees Queensland Enterprise Agreement 2022 (Agreement).
The Employer has provided written undertakings. A copy of the undertakings is attached in Annexure A. I am satisfied that the undertakings will not cause financial detriment to any employee covered by the Agreement and that the undertakings will not result in substantial changes to the Agreement. The undertakings are taken to be a term of the Agreement.
Subject to the undertakings referred to above, I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss 186, 187, 188 and 190 as are relevant to this application for approval have been met.
I observe that clause 7.5 – compassionate leave - is likely to be inconsistent with the National Employment Standards (NES). However, noting clause 1.7 of the Agreement, I am satisfied the more beneficial entitlements of the NES will prevail where there is an inconsistency between the Agreement and the NES.
The Australian Municipal, Administrative, Clerical and Services Union 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.
The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s 54 of the Act, will operate from 6 June 2023. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 30 June 2025.
