Reasons for Decision

- all employees employed by the employer (with the exception of staff on individual contracts and event day casuals); and

- [3]In certifying the agreement, the Commission recognises that:[1] each relevant requirement under subdivision 2 of Division 2 of Part 5 of the Act has been satisfied;[2] and, that there was nothing in the agreement which would require the Commission to refuse to grant the application under subdivision 3 of Division 2 of Part 5 of the Act.[3]
- [4]The agreement operates from the day it was certified, namely 9 June 2020.[4] Although the nominal expiry date of the agreement is 31 July 2023, the agreement continues to operate until it is terminated under s 227 or s 228 of the Act.
