Western Sydney University
(ADM2018/1)
COMMISSIONER MCKENNA | SYDNEY, 23 JANUARY 2018 |
Application to correct obvious error(s) etc. in relation to FWC’s decision.
[1] On 15 January 2018, Western Sydney University (formerly known as the University of Western Sydney) made an application pursuant to s.602 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Correcting obvious errors etc. in relation to FWC’s decisions) to insert certain words at the end of a sub-clause in the text of the University of Western Sydney Academic Staff Agreement 2014 (“Agreement”) (AG2014/9890, as approved by me in [2014] FWCA 8832).
[2] The University and the National Tertiary Education Industry Union agree that the words in question had been the subject of accidental omission from the Agreement at a time when it was voted-upon by employees of the University. This is the second such application to come before me concerning the Agreement; and this second application is advanced on grounds which are essentially on all fours with the previous application. In that respect, see my decision in University of Western Sydney [2015] FWC 4793 dismissing the earlier application on jurisdictional and other bases, and the decision of the Full Bench on the appeal ([2015] FWCFB 6846 and [2015] FWCA 7099).
[3] Given the similarities between the present application and the matters advanced in relation to the earlier application, and the outcome determined by the Full Bench on the appeal in that matter, I amend cl.19.1 of the Agreement, with effect from 12 December 2014, by the insertion of the following words at the end of the sub-clause: “, provided that the loading will not exceed the loading applicable to Level B, Step 3 as set out in Schedule 1: Salaries.”
