Penalty rates
Every shift is split at rate-change boundaries — 10pm, midnight, weekends, public holidays — so each hour is rated at exactly the right loading.

Common questions
Hospitality General Award pay questions, answered.
Things workers actually search for — with straight answers.
What is the split shift allowance under the Hospitality General Award?
Employees working a split shift (e.g. lunch and dinner service with an unpaid break) receive an allowance per split shift worked. The amount differs depending on whether the break is less than or more than 3 hours.1
What are the evening and late-night penalties?
Evening hours (7 pm–midnight, Monday–Friday) and early-morning hours (midnight–7 am) each attract a per-hour penalty on top of the standard rate.2
How does overtime work for part-time hospitality workers?
Part-time employees accrue overtime when they exceed their agreed contracted hours for the week, which is distinct from the full-time threshold.1
