RUTLEDGE ENGINEERING (AUST) PTY LTD WA SINGLE ENTERPRISE AGREEMENT 2016

Electrical contracting industry
COMMISSIONER GREGORY	MELBOURNE, 18 NOVEMBER 2016

Application for approval of the Rutledge Engineering (Aust) Pty Ltd Single Enterprise Agreement 2016.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Rutledge Engineering (Aust) Pty Ltd WA Single Enterprise Agreement 2016 (the Agreement). The application is made under s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) by Rutledge Engineering (Aust) Pty Ltd. The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.

[2] On reviewing the application and the accompanying Employer’s Statutory Declaration it was unclear about when employees were notified of the date and place at which the ballot was to occur and the voting method to be used. It was therefore unclear whether the requirements of s.180(3) had been met. The Applicant has now provided further clarification about this matter and I am now satisfied this requirement has been met.

[3] I am also satisfied that each of the requirements in ss.186, 187 and 188, as are relevant to the application for approval, have been met.

[4] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54 of the Act, will operate from 25 November 2016. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 18 November 2019.
