COMMISSIONER MCKENNA	SYDNEY, 1 DECEMBER 2014

Application for approval of the Narooma Pre-School Kindergarten Inc. Teachers’ Collective Agreement 2014.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Narooma Pre-School Kindergarten Inc. Teachers’ Collective Agreement 2014 (“the Agreement”). The application has been made by the Independent Education Union of Australia (“the IEU”), as employee organisation bargaining representative, pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (“the Act”). 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 relevant to this application for approval has been met. I note that clause 9 of the Agreement contains obvious typographical errors concerning divisors, albeit the rates provide in Schedule 1 are not otherwise affected by those errors. Similarly, there is a typographical error in the title clause, so the coversheet title has been used for this decision.

[3] The IEU has given notice under s.183 of the Act that it wishes to be covered by the Agreement. In accordance with s.201(2) of the Act, I note that the Agreement covers the organisation.

[4] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54 of the Act, will operate from seven days after the issuing of this decision. The nominal expiry date is 26 September 2017.
