Application for approval of the Innovative Plastic Solutions Enterprise Agreement 2023-2027.
An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Innovative Plastic Solutions Enterprise Agreement 2023-2027 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by Innovative Plastic Solutions Pty Ltd T/A IPS. The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.
The Employer has provided written undertakings. A copy of the undertakings is attached in Annexure A. I am satisfied that the undertakings will not cause financial detriment to any employee covered by the Agreement and that the undertakings will not result in substantial changes to the Agreement. The undertakings are taken to be a term of the Agreement.
Subject to the undertakings referred to above, I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss.186, 187, 188 and 190 are relevant to this application for approval and have been met. The Agreement does not cover all of the employees of the employer, however, taking into account the factors in ss.186(3) and (3A) I am satisfied that the group of employees was fairly chosen.
The Agreement lodged contained an error on the signature page, as the representatives for the Employer and the Employees did not provide an explanation of their authority to sign the agreement in accordance with 2.06A(2)(b)(ii) of the Fair Work Regulations 2009. On 17 August 2023, the Applicant filed an amended version of the Agreement with a revised signature page. I am satisfied that the correction should be made and that it is appropriate to do so pursuant to s.218A of the Act.
The Agreement is approved and in accordance with s.54, will operate from 24 August 2023. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 17 August 2027.
