COMMISSIONER LEE	MELBOURNE, 27 MAY 2019

Application for approval of the Complete Workforce Australia Security Enterprise Agreement 2019.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Complete Workforce Australia Security Enterprise Agreement 2019 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by Site Services Holdings Pty Ltd. The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.

[2] 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.

[3] 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.

[4] Pursuant to s.202(4) of the Act, the model flexibility term prescribed by the Fair Work Regulations 2009 is taken to be a term of the Agreement.

[5] I observe that the following provision is likely to be inconsistent with the National Employment Standards (NES):

•  Clause 14.1 – Personal/ Carer’s Leave

However, noting the undertaking provided, I am satisfied the more beneficial entitlements of the NES will prevail where there is an inconsistency between the Agreement and the NES.

[6] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54 of the Act, will operate from 3 June 2019. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 26 May 2023.
