COMMISSIONER LEE	MELBOURNE, 31 JULY 2017

Application for approval of the Silk Contract Logistics Pty Ltd Caprice Warehouse & National Union of Workers Enterprise Agreement 2016.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Silk Contract Logistics Pty Ltd Caprice Warehouse & National Union of Workers Enterprise Agreement 2016 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by Silk Contract Logistics Pty Ltd. The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.

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

[3] The application was not lodged within 14 days after the agreement was made. The applicant had previously lodged the application however the application was not successfully completed due to an issue with the Fair Work Commission’s on-line lodgement system. 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.

[4] 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.

[5] The National Union of Workers 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.

[6] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54 of the Act, will operate from 7 August 2017. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 19 November 2019.
