UNDERTAKING – Women’s Health Victoria Inc Enterprise Agreement 2013

I, Rita Butera of Level 8, 255 Bourke Street, Melbourne in the State of Victoria, Executive Officer, say as follows:

1. I am the Executive Officer of Women’s Health Victoria (WHV).

2. I provide this undertaking pursuant to subsection 190(3) of the Fair Work Act 2009 in relation to an error that appears within the agreement in Appendix B – Wages.

3. The specific error is in regards to the Level 2 classification for the 3rd year increase (2015). The proposed agreement provided to employees read 53,465 however should have read 59,465.

4. WHV will read the incorrect figure of 53,465 within the agreement as 59,465.

5. This undertaking is necessary to properly reflect the intention of the bargaining that occurred and the wage offer of 2.5% from WHV to all employees. The undertaking does not result in a reduction in entitlement.

6. This undertaking will form part of the enterprise agreement.
