DEPUTY PRESIDENT BULL	SYDNEY, 2 MAY 2019

Application for approval of the Your Fire Protection Pty Ltd Enterprise Agreement 2018.

[1] An application (Form F16) has been filed by Your Fire Protection Pty Ltd (the applicant) for the approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Your Fire Protection Pty Ltd Enterprise Agreement 2018 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). The Agreement is a single-enterprise agreement as per s.172(2) of the Act.

[2] The Employer has provided written undertakings. A copy of the undertakings is attached at the end of the Agreement. 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.

[3] Subject to the undertakings referred to above, I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss.186, 187, 188 and 190 as are relevant to this application for approval have been met.

[4] The application was not lodged within 14 days after the agreement was made. The employer stated in the application that the Agreement was lodged late due to all employees covered by the Agreement being on Christmas leave at the time the Agreement was made. The Employer stated in the application that the same number of employees is still engaged.

[5] Pursuant to s.185(3)(b) of the Act, in all the circumstances I consider it fair to extend the time for making the application to the date it was actually made.

[6] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54 of the Act, will operate from 9 May 2019. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 2 May 2023.
