About GWUWhat the EA does
The Grill'd 2025 Enterprise Agreement sets out the foundational rules and entitlements for all restaurant staff who work for Grill'd.
There are also other rules in Grill'd's policies on GEM.
- Pay rates, overtime, pay increases, award reconciliation and superannuation
- Traineeships, leave, breaks, rostering and right to disconnect
- Free meals, 50% discount, accidental breakages and employee obligations
- Termination, resignation, dispute resolution and union delegate rights
Who the EA applies to
The EA applies to Grill'd restaurant employees, also called operations employees.
It does not apply to Area Managers, Growth Coaches, Support Office workers, or employees of Grill'd franchises.
Franchises often operate under an EA similar to the 2020 or 2025 Grill'd EA, so parts of this guide may still be useful, but it is not automatically the legal instrument for franchise workers.
- Team Members
- Team Leaders
- Assistant Restaurant Managers
- Restaurant Managers
How long the EA applies
The agreement expires on 17 October 2029.
Grill'd must commence negotiations to develop a new agreement within 3 months of expiry.
If the expiry date passes with no new agreement, the 2025 agreement continues to operate until terminated by the Fair Work Commission.
Understanding the Award
Most fast food workers in Australia are covered by the Fast Food Industry Award 2020. The Award sets the legal minimum standard for workers who do not have their own enterprise agreement.
Grill'd workers have their own EA, so the EA replaces the Award except where the reconciliation clause uses the Award as the comparison point.
By law, the Agreement must leave workers better off overall than the Award.
