Part 3: Hours of work, rostering and breaks – Australia Hospitality Industry (General) Award 2020 (MA000009)

Australia Hospitality Industry (General) Award 2020 (MA000009) 16: Clause 16: provide meal and rest breaks by shift length, spread evenly, and pay the penalty when a meal break is denied

Breaks depend on shift length (Table 2): for more than 5 and up to 6 hours an elective unpaid meal break of up to 30 minutes if the employee asks in writing by the start of the shift (not unreasonably refused, applying to later shifts unless otherwise agreed); for more than 6 hours an unpaid meal break of at least 30 minutes taken after the first 2 hours and within the first 6; for more than 8 and up to 10 hours also a paid 20-minute rest break (or two of 10); for more than 10 hours two paid 20-minute rest breaks. The employer must make all reasonable efforts to spread breaks evenly. If an employee on a shift of more than 6 hours is not allowed the meal break, the employer must pay an extra 50% of the ordinary hourly rate from 6 hours after starting until the break is given or the shift ends, on top of any penalty rate. An additional paid 20-minute rest break is due if the employee must work more than 5 continuous hours after a meal break or more than 2 hours' overtime after the rostered finish.
