Application for approval of the Flint CPS Inks Australia Pty Ltd Enterprise Agreement 2020.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Flint CPS Inks Australia Pty Ltd Enterprise Agreement 2020 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by Flint CPS Inks Australia Pty Ltd. The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.

[2] 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.

[3] I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss.186, 187 and 188 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] I note that clause 5 of the Agreement states that the date of commencement shall be from the date of approval by the Fair Work Commission which differs from the requirements of s.54(1) of the Act.

[5] The Agreement was approved on 18 May 2020 and, in accordance with s.54, will operate from 7 days from the date of approval of the Agreement, being 25 May 2020. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 31 March 2023.
