COMMISSIONER CARGILL	SYDNEY, 26 JULY 2013

Application for approval of the HISCO Enterprise Agreement 2013.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the HISCO Enterprise Agreement 2013 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) by HISCO. The agreement is a single-enterprise agreement.

[2] The company has provided written undertakings in relation to the payment of a vehicle allowance to those employees who use their own vehicles and the definition of “immediate family” for the purposes of personal leave. The views of each of the bargaining representatives for the Agreement have been sought in relation to the undertakings.

[3] I am satisfied the undertakings meet my concerns about the Agreement. In accepting the undertakings I have also accepted that they are not likely to either cause financial detriment to an employee or result in substantial changes to the Agreement (s.190(3)). I note that under s.191 of the Act the undertakings are taken to be a term of the Agreement. A copy of the undertakings is attached to the Agreement.

[4] I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss186, 187 and 188 as are relevant to this application for approval have been met.

[5] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54, will operate from 2 August 2013. The nominal expiry date is 30 June 2017.
