Application for approval of the V/Line Rail Operations Enterprise Agreement 2012-2015.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the V/Line Rail Operations Enterprise Agreement 2012-2015 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) by V/Line Pty Ltd T/A V/Line (V/Line). The agreement is a single-enterprise agreement.

[2] I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss186, 187 and 188 as are relevant to this application for approval have been met.

[3] The Australian Rail, Tram and Bus Industry Union (ARTBIU) being a bargaining representative for the Agreement, has given notice under s.183 of the Act that it wants the Agreement to cover it. In accordance with s.201(2) I note that the Agreement covers the organisation.

[4] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54, will operate from 9 October 2013. The nominal expiry date is 30 June 2015.

[5] It should be noted that Table 8 - Allowances (other than Locomotive Operating Grade Employees) contains incorrect rates for the Conductor Overtime Meal allowance. A Table which contains the correct rates is attached to this decision. Also attached to the decision are two letters from V/Line to the ARBTIU concerning the continued operation of certain provisions.
