COMMISSIONER HAMPTON	ADELAIDE, 9 JUNE 2015

Application for approval of the Greyhound Racing SA Ltd Clerical and Administrative Employee Enterprise Agreement 2015.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Greyhound Racing SA Ltd Clerical and Administrative Employee Enterprise Agreement 2015 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) by Greyhound Racing SA Limited. The Agreement is a single-enterprise agreement.

[2] I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss.186, 187 and 188 of the Act as are relevant to this application for approval have been met. In so finding, I note the clause 20.2 of the Agreement has the effect that the annual salary paid to employees cannot be less than each would have received under the terms of the applicable award. This is important given the terms of the Agreement, including the hours of work provisions and the 20 per cent casual loading.

[3] I also note that s.206 of the Act provides, in effect, that the base rate of pay payable to employees under the Agreement must not be less than the base rate of pay that would otherwise be payable to the employees under the relevant modern award.

[4] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54 of the Act, will operate from 16 June 2015. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 15 June 2019.
