What does McDonalds pay per hour Australia?

In May 2020, a group of international unions launched a bold and historic case against McDonald’s in The Netherlands for its actions in permitting widespread sexual harrassment and assaults in its stores across the world. Members can find out more by contacting the union.

In May 2020, RAFFWU also fought McDonald’s and SDA trying to smash worker rights at McDonald’s. In the end we were successful, with some of their attacks expiring at the end of July 2020.

In December 2019, RAFFWU won the case to return penalty rates and other Award conditions to McDonald’s workers.

Minimum Award rights include:

  • 25% casual loading (paid in addition to penalty rates below)
  • 25% Saturday loading
  • 35% Sunday loading (50% for supervisors)
  • 10% weeknight penalty rate (10pm to 12am)
  • 15% weekday morning penalty rate (12am to 6am)
  • $22.70 per hour non-casual for 21+ crew trainers
  • free uniforms
  • uniform allowance where your uniform isn’t washed for you
  • consultation over major changes
  • part-time worker rights to minimum weekly hours and set days of work with start and finish times known and not changed without agreement

These conditions and more were smashed by past exploitative deals made by SDA and McDonald’s.

For 20 years the SDA and McDonald’s teamed up to make dodgy back room deals which smash worker rights.

In October 2018 we exposed the ruthless churn of young workers perpetrated by McDonald’s to save through exploitative junior rates. Check out the ABC 7:30 Report on our Facebook

In November 2018 we exposed the outrageous practice of not providing rest breaks – with over 90% of workers reporting they don’t get minimum 10 minute paid rest/drink breaks for four hour or longer shifts. Take our special survey here

In December 2018 we launched our campaign to bring back the 10 minute rest breaks and members who have RAFFWU list their store are already winning. In January 2019 we exposed the ruthless attack on workers by McDonald’s with threats of banning workers insisting on their 10 minute breaks from accessing toilets or water. See more here

We fought back with the first ever rally by Australian workers at McDonald’s which was reported across media outlets

We’re leading the #maccasrevolution – get on board! 

RAFFWU fought the rotten new deal in the Fair Work Commission and won. McDonald’s backed down and withdrew their agreement to avoid the embarrassment of losing. Read about the case here

McDonald’s employees are covered by the Fast Food Industry Award.

The SDA plays a central role in pushing for changes in the Award to maintain decent pay and fair conditions that are relevant to the needs of fast food workers across the country.

The SDA works hard every year in the Fair Work Commission to ensure rates of pay go up and working conditions are protected and improved in the Fast Food Industry Award.

Your rates of pay are set out in the Fast Food Industry Award. Click here to see the full wage sheet.

Pay rises are determined by the Fair Work Commission’s Annual Wage Review and usually come into effect in July each year.

Each year, the Fair Work Commission considers submissions, including submissions from unions and employer groups, about wage increases for the minimum wage and Award wages.

The SDA through the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU) makes a comprehensive submission arguing for wages to go up in the Annual Wage Review every year.

The review takes place in the first half of the year, with a decision being made generally in May or June.

Higher Duties: If you are required to perform work at a higher level then you will be paid at the higher rate. If this is for 2 hours or more on a shift then the higher rate applies for the whole shift.

The SDA keeps you updated about your pay regularly, including any pay rises.

Your breaks were fought for and won by the SDA.

Under the Award, your break entitlements are:

It’s important to note your rights about breaks:

You have a right to a safe workplace and this includes no abuse or violence from customers.

87% of fast food workers we surveyed said they had experienced verbal abuse or aggressive behaviour and 28% said they had experienced physical abuse such as punching, hitting, pushing or threats of physical abuse like death threats.

This should not be the norm for workers at McDonald’s and that’s why the SDA launched a massive campaign to eliminate abuse and violence from customers.

Abuse isn’t part of the job. It is one of the top health and safety issues facing fast food workers but it can be stopped.

Watch our No One Deserves A Serve advertising that calls out customers to respect fast food workers here.

McDonald’s has a legal responsibility to protect you at work. If you are abused by a customer on the job and don’t feel supported or that everything has been done to protect you, please get in touch with us.

With the support of SDA members like you, we can continue to campaign on this issue and make your store safer.

At the end of the day, your safety must come first. It is the SDA’s core business to ensure that your employer provides you with a safe workplace whether that’s through health and safety laws

What does McDonalds pay per hour Australia?

Bullying and sexual harassment have no place at McDonald’s.

2 in 5 SDA members have experienced or been exposed to workplace sexual harassment in the past 5 years.

Your employer has a responsibility to provide you with a safe work environment in all ways.

The SDA stands with all workers who have experienced bullying or sexual harassment and is here to support you.

It doesn’t matter if it’s your manager, a coworker or a customer – this kind of behaviour is completely unacceptable.

If you’ve experienced or witnessed bullying or harassment at work, report it to the SDA.

We’re committed to handling any complaints confidentially, sympathetically and quickly and will always put your best interests first.

A common issue for SDA members is changing and cancelling shifts at last minute or after you’ve already got to work. We know that casuals often arrive to work only to be told their shift has been cancelled.

If you arrive to work and you haven’t been told your shift has been cancelled – you should be paid for that shift.

The Company cannot refuse to pay you for that shift if they have not contacted you prior to your shift starting.

Just because you’re casual, does not mean you don’t have rights at work. If you need help speaking up about this in your store, get in touch with us.

Remember, part-time employees should have a regular pattern of work and you must have agreed to your hours and days of work in writing.

If you’re full-time you must receive an average of 38 hours per week.

All permanent employees must be consulted about any changes to your roster and any changes must be made in writing before the change occurs. If you don’t agree to the proposed roster changes, don’t sign anything and contact the SDA for help.
