Application for approval of the Mauri (SA) Enterprise Agreement 2024
George Weston Foods Ltd T/A Mauri has applied for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Mauri (SA) Enterprise Agreement 2024 (the Agreement) under s 185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act).
The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.
I note that Clause 29.8 may be inconsistent with the National Employment Standards as it is silent on the ability to take compassionate leave in cases of stillbirth or miscarriage as provided by s 104 of the Act. The Agreement gives precedence to the National Employment Standards at Clause 6.2 of the Agreement, so I am satisfied that the more beneficial entitlements of the National Employment Standards will prevail.
Subject to the above matters 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 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.
The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s 54 of the Act, will operate from 27 May 2024.
In accordance with Clause 3, the nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 1 April 2027.
