| DEPUTY PRESIDENT SAUNDERS | NEWCASTLE, 28 FEBRUARY 2025 |
Application for approval of the UNE Professional Staff Enterprise Agreement 2023 - 2026
An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the UNE Professional Staff Enterprise Agreement 2023 - 2026 (Agreement). The application was made pursuant to section 185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Act). The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.
The Employer has provided written undertakings (Undertakings). A copy of the Undertakings is attached in Annexure A to this decision. I am satisfied that the effect of accepting the Undertakings is not likely to:
(a) cause financial detriment to any employee covered by the Agreement; or
(b) result in substantial changes to the Agreement.
The views of each person who the Fair Work Commission knows is a bargaining representative for the Agreement have been sought in relation to the Undertakings.
Pursuant to subsection 190(3) of the Act, I accept the Undertakings. The Undertakings are taken to be a term of the Agreement.
Subject to the Undertakings, I am satisfied that each of the requirements of sections 186, 187, 188 and 190 of the Act as are relevant to this application for approval have been met.
The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with section 54 of the Act, will operate from 7 March 2025. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 30 June 2026.
The National Tertiary Education Industry Union (NTEU) and the Community and Public Sector Union (CPSU), being bargaining representatives for the Agreement, have given notice to the Fair Work Commission that they want the Agreement to cover them. In accordance with s 201(2) of the Act, I note that the Agreement covers the NTEU and the CPSU.
