COMMISSIONER ALLISON	MELBOURNE, 8 AUGUST 2024

Application for approval of the IVE Print Web Offset Victoria Enterprise Agreement 2024

1. IVE Employment (Australia) Pty Ltd (the Employer) has made an application, pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act), for approval of a single enterprise agreement known as the IVE Print Web Offset Victoria Enterprise Agreement 2024 (the Agreement).

1. The “Automotive, Food, Metals, Engineering, Printing and Kindred Industries Union” known as the Australian Manufacturing Workers’ Union (AMWU), being a bargaining representative for the Agreement, has given notice under s.183 of the Act that it wants the Agreement to cover it. In accordance with s.201(2) I note that the Agreement covers the organisation.

1. The agreement title on the Notice of Employee Representational Rights (NERR) that was issued to the employees was the “IVE Group Print Web Offset Victoria Enterprise Agreement 2024” which does not match the title of the Agreement to be approved. I am satisfied that this was a minor procedural or technical error and that the employees were not likely to have been disadvantaged by it. Accordingly, I exercise the discretion conferred by s.188(5) of the Act to disregard this error.

1. I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss.186, 187 and 188 as are relevant to this application for approval have been met.

1. The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54 of the Act, will operate from 15 August 2024. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 30 June 2028.
