The minimum rates for a level 1 employee under the Fast Food Award are:
- $27.91 per hour (includes casual loading) for a casual adult
- $22.33 per hour for a full-time or part-time adult.
Different rates apply for higher classifications and there are higher rates for working at night, on the weekend and on public holidays.
Different rates also apply to juniors under this award.
Remember if you work 4 hours or more, you’re entitled to a 10-minute paid rest break. Check out the breaks for longer shifts, junior rates and other classifications in the award: https://www.fairwork.gov.au/.../fast.../fast-food-industry
If your workplace is covered by an agreement, your entitlements may be different. But remember, the base rate in the agreement can’t be less than the rate in the relevant award.
Not sure if the Fast Food Industry Award covers you? Minimum conditions at work can come from registered agreements, awards or legislation.
