Application for approval of the AMWU, CEPU and Simplot Australia Pty Limited, Employee National Collective Agreement 2018 - 2021.
An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the AMWU, CEPU and Simplot Australia Pty Limited, Employee National Collective Agreement 2018 - 2021 (the Agreement).

The Employer has provided written undertakings. A copy of the undertakings is attached in Annexure A. I am satisfied that the undertakings will not cause financial detriment to any employee covered by the Agreement and that the undertakings will not result in substantial changes to the Agreement.
Subject to the undertakings referred to above, I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss.186, 187, 188 and 190 as are relevant to this application for approval have been met. The Agreement does not cover all of the employees of the employer, however, taking into account the factors in Section 186(3) and (3A) I am satisfied that the group of employees was fairly chosen.
