UGL RESOURCES (SERVICES) PTY LIMITED FIELD SERVICES ENTERPRISE AGREEMENT (QLD) 2011 - 2014

SENIOR DEPUTY PRESIDENT RICHARDS	BRISBANE, 30 DECEMBER 2013

Application for variation of the UGL Resources (Services) Pty Limited Field Services Enterprise Agreement (Qld) 2011-2014 - application not a claim by a bargaining representative against another bargaining representative.

[1] An application pursuant to s.210 of the Fair Work Act 2009 has been made by UGL Resources (Services) Pty Limited for the approval of a variation to the UGL Resources (Services) Pty Limited Field Services Enterprise Agreement (Qld) 2011-2014 (“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. I also have before me the declarations (prescribed by the Rules of the Fair Work Commission) from the identifiable and identified bargaining representatives.

[3] I add that there is no reason for me to consider the application to be any more than it is on its face, and as agreed to by the majority of the employees and consented to by the bargaining representatives. That is, the application cannot be construed to be a claim by one or more bargaining representatives upon any other bargaining representative(s).

[4] The Agreement is varied as follows:

(a) In Appendix 1 - “Wages, Allowances and Escalations” in each of the tables included in paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (e), (f) and (g), by deleting from each table the far-right column, thereby removing the final (“From 1/1/14”) wage/allowance escalation.

[5] The variation is approved and will come into operation on 30 December 2013.

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