[2] The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement

[3] I observe that the following clauses are likely to be inconsistent with the National Employment Standards:

• Clause 50.6 - Public Holiday substitution

• Clause 25.1.3 - Notice of termination for apprentices

[4] Clause 5.2.2 of the Agreement gives precedence to the NES and I am satisfied that the more beneficial entitlements of the NES will prevail where there is an inconsistency between the Agreement and the NES.

[5] The Employer has provided written 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.
