Split shift allowances get missed
Lunch and dinner service with an unpaid break in between qualifies for a split shift allowance. Different rates apply depending on whether the gap is under or over three hours.

The pain
Where shift-work pay goes sideways.
The parts of the job that are genuinely hard to verify, and the ones payroll gets wrong most often.
Evening and late-night windows differ by award
Hospitality General: evening 7pm-midnight, late night midnight-7am. Fast Food: evening 10pm-midnight, late night midnight-6am. Rates differ too.
Casual loading stacks with penalty rates
Casual loading is applied first, then penalty rates on top. Getting the order wrong produces the wrong gross.
Junior rates scale with age
Under 16: 40% of adult rate. Under 17: 50%. Under 18: 60%. And so on to 90% at 20. Penalty rates apply on top of the junior base.
Part-time overtime kicks in at contracted hours
Part-time hospitality workers accrue overtime when they exceed their agreed contracted hours for the week, not the full-time threshold.
