14.01.2022 Working in fast food doesn’t mean you have to inhale your lunch. Your award or agreement sets rules about when you’re entitled to take meal and rest breaks. It... will say how long you can work before getting a break, how long the break is for and whether it’s paid. For example, if your shift is at least 5 hours but less than 9 hours under the Fast Food Award you get at least a 30-minute unpaid meal break and a paid 10 minute rest break. Some awards and agreements also say you get penalty rates if you have to work through your break. You can find info about your meal and rest breaks by searching for your industry here: https://www.fairwork.gov.au//hours-of-work-breaks-a/breaks

12.01.2022 Just because the day is dragging, it doesn’t mean employees can be sent home without pay. Employers can’t stand down employees without pay just because the bus...iness is quiet or there isn’t enough work. Employees can only be stood down when they can’t do useful work because of: equipment break down, if the employer isn't responsible for it industrial action, when it's not organised by the employer a stoppage of work for which the employer can't be held responsible, for example, due to severe and inclement weather, a natural disaster, or an enforceable government direction requiring the business to close. Some awards, agreements and contracts of employment have extra rules about when an employer can stand down an employee without pay. Casual employees may be able to be sent home when the business is quiet but the employer will need to comply with any minimum engagement term in an applicable award, enterprise agreement or contract of employment. For example, under the Restaurant Award a casual employee must be engaged and paid for at least 2 hours every time they are required to attend work.

08.01.2022 When it comes to working overtime, we’re often asked how many extra hours is too many. You can refuse to work overtime if the hours are unreasonable. What’s unr...easonable is determined by a number of things unique to you. Things that need to be considered when deciding whether it’s reasonable for you to be asked to put in more hours or stay back late, include: health and safety risks your personal situation (family responsibilities) operational requirements of the business whether you’re entitled to overtime payments or penalty rates whether you’re paid a higher rate to include possible overtime if you’ve been given enough notice any notice you’ve given of your intention not to work the additional hours the usual patterns of work in the industry. Your award or agreement will say what overtime rates you should be paid. If you’re paid a flat rate or salary, it needs to be high enough to cover all the hours you work including overtime rates from your award or agreement.
