Application for approval of the Klipspringer Pty Ltd and the Australasian Meat Industry Employees' Union Victorian Meat Processing Agreement 2017.
An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Klipspringer Pty Ltd and the Australasian Meat Industry Employees’ Union Victorian Meat Processing Agreement 2017 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by Klipspringer Pty Ltd. 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.
Subject to the undertakings referred to above, I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss.186, 187, 188 and 190 as are relevant to this application for approval have been met. The Agreement does not cover all of the employees of the employer, however, taking into account the factors in Section 186(3) and (3A) I am satisfied that the group of employees was fairly chosen.
Pursuant to s.205(2) of the Act, the model consultation term prescribed by the Fair Work Regulations 2009 is taken to be a term of the Agreement.
The Australasian Meat Industry Employees Union 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.
The Agreement was approved on 10 October 2018 and, in accordance with s.54, will operate from 17 October 2018. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 30 September 2021.
