An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Wormald Sydney Fire Alarms Emergency Service Division 2024-2027 (the Agreement). The Application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by Wormald Australia Pty Ltd t/a Wormald (the Applicant). The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.
I note that clause 32 of the Agreement provides that flexibility provisions will be in accordance with the model clause provided for by the Act. I also note that the Agreement does not expressly set out the terms of a delegates’ rights term, however clause 4 of the Agreement provides that the terms of the Electrical, Electronic and Communications Contracting Award 2020 are incorporated into the Agreement. This would include clause 26A, Workplace delegates’ rights, of that Award.
The Applicant has provided written undertakings (Annexure A). In accordance with s.190(4) of the Act the views of the bargaining representatives for the agreement were sought in relation to the undertakings. I am satisfied that the undertakings will not cause financial detriment to any employee covered by the Agreement and that the undertakings will not result in substantial changes to the Agreement. Pursuant to s.191(1) of the Act, the undertakings are taken to be a term of the Agreement.
Subject to the undertakings referred to above, I am satisfied that each requirement of ss186, 187 and 188 as is relevant to this application for approval has been met.
