Citation: [2026] FWCA 1996
What happened
Chubb Fire & Security Pty Ltd, trading as Chubb Fire & Security, applied to the Fair Work Commission for approval of its 'ACT Portable Technician Enterprise Agreement 2025-2029'. The agreement is a single enterprise agreement covering employees. The employer provided undertakings which are attached to the decision.
What was decided
The Fair Work Commission approved the Chubb Fire & Security Pty Ltd ACT Portable Technician Enterprise Agreement 2025-2029. The Deputy President Boyce was satisfied that all relevant requirements of the Fair Work Act were met, including those related to financial detriment and substantial changes. The agreement will operate from August 4, 2026, and expire on May 4, 2029. The model flexibility clause from the Manufacturing and Associated Industries and Occupations Award 2020 is incorporated into the agreement.
What it means for employers
Employers seeking to implement enterprise agreements must provide undertakings that won't cause financial detriment to employees or result in substantial changes to the agreement. They also need to be aware of how existing award conditions, like flexibility clauses, are incorporated.
What it means for employees
Employees covered by this new enterprise agreement should review the full document and attached undertakings to understand their entitlements. Any inconsistency between the agreement and the National Employment Standards will be resolved in favour of the NES’s more beneficial provisions.
