About GWUGrill’d Enterprise Agreement 2025
The Grill’d Enterprise Agreement 2025 is the legal document that sets the pay, penalty rates, leave, rostering, and working conditions for every Grill’d employee across Australia.
Key Details
What's Changed from 2020
- Higher pay rates across all classifications and ages.
- Reconciliation clause - back-pay if you would have earned more under the Award (minimum-wage).
- Weekend penalty rates - higher rates for working Saturdays and Sundays.
Who’s covered
The EA applies to all employees of the mainline Grill'd brand, thus not including franchise stores. This includes all team members, trainees, and team leaders, and managers working in those stores.
The EA replaces both the 2020 agreement and the Fast Food Industry Award.
How the EA Works
The Enterprise Agreement sets the minimum standards for all employment at Grill'd, covering how pay, breaks, leave, and other entitlements work. It is a legally enforceable document approved by the Fair Work Commission, meaning we are not bound by the Grill'd Enterprise Agreement 2020 or the Fast Food Industry Award 2020.
Classifications & Pay
Pay is based on the classification (Trainee/Non-trainee, TM/TL) and either age or school year. Each classification has defined hourly rates for ordinary time, penalties, and overtime.
Weekend penalty rates apply for Saturday and Sunday work. Higher classifications receive higher hourly rates.
Use PayCheck to confirm your hourly rate.
Ordinary Hours & Rosters
Ordinary hours may be rostered between 6:00am and midnight, and each shift must be at least 3 hours in length. You must receive one break every 5 hours, and 10 hours off between shifts. See more on the Rosters & Breaks page.
Split shifts are not permitted under the 2025 EA, and each shift must be at least 3 hours long.
Overtime & Variation
Overtime applies when you work more than an hour past your rostered hours. You may be asked to accept a “variation” request to change your roster after it is published; this must be voluntary and confirmed through Tanda. See more on the Overtime & Variation page.
Declining a variation is generally advantageous for you.
Reconciliation Clause NEW
Every three months, Grill’d must compare each worker’s pay against the Fast Food Industry Award 2020.
If you would have earned more under the Award for the same hours, Grill’d must back-pay the difference + 1.5%. This ensures no employee will ever again earn less than the legal minimum overall, as was the case under the 2020 EA.
Leave Entitlements
Workers accrue annual leave, personal/carer’s leave, and parental leave as set out in the National Employment Standards.
Public holidays attract penalty rates when worked. If you’re not rostered, it’s treated as a normal day off.
Allowances
The EA includes allowances for meal breaks and a half-priced item. During your break you can spend up to $18 on an item, and you also receive one half-priced item per day at your normal store.
