COMMISSIONER CIRKOVIC	MELBOURNE, 13 MAY 2021

Application for approval of the RYCO Group Pty Ltd Stores and Distribution Enterprise Agreement 2021.

[1] RYCO Group Pty Ltd T/A Ryco Group (the Applicant) has made an application for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the RYCO Group Pty Ltd Stores and Distribution Enterprise Agreement 2021 (the Agreement) pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). The agreement is a single enterprise agreement.

[2] The matter was allocated to my Chambers on 5 May 2021.

[3] On 5 May 2021, my Chambers contacted the parties to seek clarification about how the Applicant complied with s.180(5) of the Act, and the Applicant was invited to address these matters. On 6 May 2021 the Applicant provided submissions and materials that have satisfied my concerns.

[4] As the Agreement does not contain a consultation term which meets the requirements of s.205 of the Act, the model consultation term is taken to be a term of the Agreement.

[5] The “United Workers’ 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) of the Act I note that the Agreement covers this organisation.

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

[7] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54 of the Act, will operate from 7 days after the date of approval of the Agreement. The nominal expiry date is 31 March 2024.
