VICE PRESIDENT LAWLER	SYDNEY, 14 OCTOBER 2015

Application for approval of the Fintona Girls’ School Agreement 2015-2017.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Fintona Girls’ School Agreement 2015-2017 (Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Act). It has been made by the Fintona Girls’ School. The Agreement is a single-enterprise agreement.

[2] The Applicant 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.

[3] 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. The Agreement does not cover all of the employees of the employer, however, taking into account the factors in Section 186(3) and (3A) I am satisfied that the group of employees was fairly chosen.

[4] The Independent Education Union of Australia (IEU), 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 this organisation.

[5] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54 of the Act, will operate from 21 October 2015. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 31 December 2017.
