Application to extend the default period for Reynolds & Reynolds Workplace Agreement
(2005)
[1] This decision concerns an application made by Pentana Solutions Pty Ltd (Pentana)
pursuant to item 20A(4) of Schedule 3 to the Fair Work (Transitional Provisions and
Consequential Amendments) Act 2009 (Cth) (Transitional Act) to extend the default period for
the Reynolds & Reynolds Workplace Agreement (2005) (the 2005 Agreement).
[2] An earlier application was made pursuant to 20A(4) of Sch 3 to the Transitional Act to
extend the default period of the Agreement. In a decision issued on 26 February 2024, the Full
Bench considered that the requirements in subitem (6)(a) were met and it was appropriate in
the circumstances to extend the Agreement. The Full Bench ordered that the default period for
the Agreement be extended until 30 June 2024 to allow time for a replacement agreement to be
made and approved.1
[3] A replacement agreement has since been made and approved2, but not before 30 June
2024. The replacement agreement commenced on 30 July 2024. The current application seeks
to continue the operation of the 2005 Agreement until that date. The application is made, in
accordance with subitem (6)(b), on the ground that it is reasonable in the circumstances to
extend the default period for the period between 30 June 2024 and 30 July 2024.
[4] We are satisfied for the purpose of subitem (6)(b) that it is reasonable to extend the
default period for the Agreement.
[5] Pursuant to item 20A(4) of Sch 3 to the Transitional Act, we order that the default period
for the Agreement is extended until 30 July 2024.
