COMMISSIONER PLATT	ADELAIDE, 4 APRIL 2018

Application for termination of the GRSA Hospitality Employees Collective Agreement 2009-2013.

[1] On 16 March 2018, Greyhound Racing SA Limited (GRSA) made an application to terminate GRSA Hospitality Employees Collective Agreement 2009-2013 (the Agreement) under s.225 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act).

[2] On 19 March 2018, I issued Directions requiring GRSA to provide a copy of the Directions to all employees covered by the Agreement and to provide written confirmation that this had occurred.

[3] On 19 March 2018, my chambers received confirmation that 3 employees had been served with the Directions. After having regard to the form F24C Statutory Declaration provided with the application which refers to a vote by 18 employees, I requested that GRSA provide a confidential list of all employees covered by the Agreement. On 23 March 2018, the Commission received a confidential list of 44 employees covered by the Agreement and on 26 March 2018 a Statutory Declaration of Ms Sheridan Milam was received stating that the Directions had been emailed to all 44 employees covered by the Agreement.

[4] I have not received any objections from any employee covered by the Agreement.

[5] As this is an application to terminate an expired agreement, it does not require the approval by a majority of employees.

[6] Pursuant to s.225 of the Act, I am satisfied as to each of the matters contained in s.226 of the Act. Accordingly, the Agreement is terminated.

[7] The termination will come into effect from 4 April 2018.
