COMMISSIONER YILMAZ	MELBOURNE, 5 FEBRUARY 2021

Application for approval of the Safehands Security Services Enterprise Agreement 2020.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Safehands Security Services Enterprise Agreement 2020 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by Iqbal International Pty Ltd T/A Safehands Security Services. The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.

[2] 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.

[3] 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.

[4] I observe that clause 18(b) of the Agreement is likely to be inconsistent with the National Employment Standards (NES). However, noting clause 6 of the Agreement, I am satisfied the more beneficial entitlements of the NES will prevail where there is an inconsistency between the Agreement and the NES.
