COMMISSIONER HAMPTON	ADELAIDE, 13 NOVEMBER 2013

Application for approval of the SATAB Branch Agreement 2013.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the SATAB Branch Agreement 2013 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) by SATAB Pty Ltd. The Agreement is a single-enterprise agreement.

[2] 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. In so finding, I consider Clause 36, Grievance and Dispute Avoidance Procedure, broad enough to include disputes about the Agreement and National Employment Standards as required by s.186(6)(b) of the Act.

[3] I note that the reference award for the purposes of s.193 of the Act is the South Australian Totalizator Agency Board Award [AN150153 - NAPSA], being an Enterprise Award that has been preserved by virtue of Item 18 of Schedule 7 of the Fair Work (Transitional Provisions and Consequential Amendments) Act 2009.

[4] The Australian Municipal, Administrative, Clerical and Services 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 the organisation.

[5] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54 of the Act, will operate from 20 November 2013. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 19 November 2016.
