Application for approval of the DHL Supply Chain Western Sydney - NSW Enterprise Agreement 2021

[1] DHL Supply Chain (Australia) Pty Limited has applied for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the DHL Supply Chain Western Sydney - NSW Enterprise Agreement 2021 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) and is a single enterprise agreement.

[2] The Employer has provided a written undertaking. A copy of the undertaking is attached in Annexure A. I am satisfied that the undertaking will not cause financial detriment to any employee covered by the Agreement and that the undertaking will not result in substantial changes to the Agreement. The undertaking is taken to be a term of the Agreement.

[3] Subject to the undertaking 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.

[4] The Agreement lodged contained an error at clause 22. The clause erroneously cross-referenced subclauses that did not exist. On 23 September 2021, the Employer filed an amended agreement. Pursuant to s.586 of the Act, I am satisfied that the correction should be made and that it is appropriate to do so.

[5] The United Workers’ 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.

[6] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54 of the Act, will operate from 4 October 2021. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 20 August 2024.
