Application for approval of the HLGM Group Enterprise Agreement 2025

[1] HLGM Financial Services Pty Ltd has applied for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the HLGM Group Enterprise Agreement 2025 under s 185 of the Fair Work Act 2009.

[2] The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.

[3] I observe that clause 25.4 - Withholding money due on termination - is likely to be inconsistent with the National Employment Standards.

[4] Clause 5 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] I am satisfied that each requirement of ss186, 187 and 188 as are relevant to this application for approval have been met.

[6] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s 54 of the Act, will operate from 22 August 2025.

[7] In accordance with clause 4.1(b), the nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 15 August 2029.
