Application for variation of the G&S Engineering Services Pty Ltd Maintenance and Minor Construction (Qld) Agreement 2011 - 2014.

[1] An application pursuant to s.210 of the Fair Work Act 2009 has been made by G&S Engineering Services Pty Ltd for the approval of a variation to the G&S Engineering Services Pty Ltd Maintenance and Minor Construction (Qld) Agreement 2011 - 2014 (“the Agreement”).

[2] The application was not lodged within 14 days after the variation was agreed to. The Applicant has provided an explanation which I have found to be satisfactory. Pursuant to s.210(3)(b) I consider it fair to extend the time for making this application.

[3] The application has met the statutory requirements in all requisite respects. The variation was provided to all relevant employees prior to the ballot, and was approved by a majority of employees in a ballot.

[4] The Agreement is varied as follows:

(a) In Appendix 1, in each of the tables included in paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e), by amending the date of the final escalation, specifically by deleting “From 01/01/14” and replacing it with “From 01/07/14”.

[5] The variation is approved and will come into operation on 24 December 2013.
