COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS NEWCASTLE, 11 APRIL 2016

Application for approval of the Good Samaritan Industries Supported Employees Enterprise

Agreement 2016.

[1]        An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the

Good Samaritan Industries Supported Employees Enterprise Agreement 2016 (the

Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act).

It has been made by Good Samaritan Industries. The Agreement is a single enterprise

agreement.

[2]        The Employer has provided written undertakings (the Undertakings). A copy of the

Undertakings is attached in Annexure A to this decision. I am satisfied that the effect of

accepting the Undertakings is not likely to:

(a) cause financial detriment to any employee covered by the Agreement; or

(b) result in substantial changes to the Agreement.

[3]        The views of each person who the Fair Work Commission knows is a bargaining

representative for the Agreement have been sought in relation to the Undertakings.

[4]        Pursuant to subsection 190(3) of the Act, I accept the Undertakings.

[5]        Subject to the Undertakings, 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.

[6]        Pursuant to s.205(2) of the Act, the model consultation term prescribed by the Fair

Work Regulations 2009 is taken to be a term of the Agreement.

[7]        The Disabled 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.

[8]        The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54 of the Act, will operate from

18 April 2016. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 11 April 2020.
