STANDARDS LABOUR HIRE PTY LTD T/A STANDARDS LABOUR HIRE TRUST ENTERPRISE AGREEMENT

Building, metal and civil construction industries
SENIOR DEPUTY PRESIDENT RICHARDS	BRISBANE, 2 JANUARY 2014

Application to vary the Standards Labour Hire Pty Ltd t/a Standards Labour Hire Trust Enterprise Agreement.

[1] An application pursuant to s.210 of the Fair Work Act 2009 has been made by Standards Labour Hire Pty Ltd T/A Standards Labour Hire Trust (“the Employer”) for the approval of a variation to the Standards Labour Hire Pty Ltd t/a Standards Labour Hire Trust Enterprise Agreement (“the Agreement”).

[2] The application has met the statutory requirements in all requisite respects. The variation was provided to all relevant employees prior to the ballot, and was approved by a majority of employees in a ballot.

[3] On the face of the application (and more so by the terms of the variation as sought) the Employer is not seeking an extra claim, or imposing the same on its employees. Indeed, the application is best characterised as a consent application in the circumstances.

[4] The Agreement is varied as follows:

(a) In clause 10.1.2, by replacing “50 kilometre” with “120 kilometre”;

(b) In clause 10.1.3, by replacing “50 kilometre” with “120 kilometre”; and

(c) In clause 10.1.5, by replacing both occurrences of “50 kilometre” with “120 kilometre”.

[5] The variation is approved and will come into operation on 2 January 2014.

[6] A consolidated copy of the Agreement is attached to this decision.
