DEPUTY PRESIDENT YOUNG

MELBOURNE, 12 APRIL 2022

Application for approval of the Suparest Bedding Pty Ltd (T/As A.H. Beard) Enterprise Agreement 2022

  1. Suparest Bedding Pty. Ltd. T/A A.H. Beard (the Employer) has made an application for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Suparest Bedding Pty Ltd (T/As A.H. Beard) Enterprise Agreement 2022 (the Agreement) pursuant to s 185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). The Agreement is a single-enterprise agreement.

  1. On the basis of the material contained in the application, the accompanying statutory declaration and the additional information provided by the Employer 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.

  1. I observe that clause 28.1 of the Agreement is likely to be inconsistent with the National Employment Standards (NES). However, noting clause 5(e) of the Agreement, I am satisfied the more beneficial entitlements of the NES will prevail where there is an inconsistency between the Agreement and the NES.

  1. The Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union, being a bargaining representative for the Agreement, has given notice under s 183 of the Act that it seeks to be covered by the Agreement.  In accordance with s 201(2) and based on the statutory declaration provided by the organisation, I note that the Agreement covers the organisation.

  1. The Agreement was approved on 12 April 2022 and, in accordance with s 54, will operate from 19 April 2022. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 1 April 2025.
