Application for approval of the Visy Recycling Laverton Enterprise Agreement 2023.
An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Visy Recycling Laverton Enterprise Agreement 2023 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) by the employer Visy Board Pty Ltd T/A Visy Recycling Glass Division. The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.
The notification time for the Agreement under s.173(2) was 29 November 2023 and the Agreement was made on 17 May 2024. Accordingly, both the genuine agreement and the better off overall test requirements are those applying on and from 6 June 2023.[1]
Having regard to the material contained in the application and filed in relation to it, I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss.186, 187, 188, 193 and 193A as are relevant to this application for approval have been met. The Agreement does not cover all of the employees of the employer. However, taking into account the factors in sections 186(3) and (3A), I am satisfied that the group of employees was fairly chosen.
The Agreement was approved on 14 June 2024 and, in accordance with s.54 of the Act, will operate from 21 June 2024. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 1 October 2026.
