COMMISSIONER GREGORY	MELBOURNE, 16 SEPTEMBER 2015

Application for approval of the Menzies International Contract Cleaning Enterprise Agreement 2015.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Menzies International Contract Cleaning Enterprise Agreement 2015 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by Menzies International (Australia) Pty Ltd. The agreement is a single-enterprise agreement.

[2] The application was not lodged within 14 days after the Agreement was made. Pursuant to s.185(3)(b), in all the circumstances I consider it fair to extend the time for making the application to the date it was actually made.

[3] I have accepted the undertakings attached to this decision which have been given by the employer.

[4] I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss.186, 187, 188 and s.190 as are relevant to this application for approval have been met.

[5] The Agreement does not contain a consultation provision in the terms of s.205 of the Act. 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.

[6] 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.

[7] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54 of the Act, will operate from 23 September 2015. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 31 March 2018.
