This modern award commenced operation on 1 January 2010. The terms of the award have been varied since that date.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"title-idx-1\" class=\"icon-anchor\">Who is entitled to Restaurant Industry Award?<\/h2>\n<h3>Coverage<\/h3>\n<p>In this award restaurant industry means restaurants, reception centres, night clubs, caf\u00e9s or roadhouses and includes catering by a restaurant business and a tea room operated in, or in connection with, a restaurant business but does not include a restaurant operated in, or in connection with, premises owned or operated by an employer covered by any of the following awards:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hospitality Industry (General) Award 2020; or<\/li>\n<li>Registered and Licensed Clubs Award 2020; or<\/li>\n<li>Fast Food Industry Award 2010.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Types of employment<\/h3>\n<p>An employee covered by this award must be one of the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>a full-time employee (An employee who is engaged to work an average of 38 ordinary hours per week over a period of no more than 4 weeks is a full-time employee.); or<\/li>\n<li>a part-time employee (An employee who is engaged to work at least 8 and fewer than 38 ordinary hours per week, and has reasonably predictable hours of work.); or<\/li>\n<li>a casual employee (An employee who is engaged to work a maximum of 12 hours per day or per shift; a maximum of 38 hours per week or, if the casual employee works in accordance with a roster, an average of 38 hours per week over the roster cycle.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"title-idx-2\" class=\"icon-anchor\">How is the shiftwork arranged in Restaurant Industry Award?<\/h2>\n<p>Regarding hours of work, the award establishes standard working hours and provides guidelines for shiftwork, break, etc.<\/p>\n<h3>Hours of Work<\/h3>\n<p>An arrangement for working ordinary hours must satisfy all of the following conditions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the minimum number of ordinary hours that may be worked by a full-time employee on any day is 6 (excluding meal breaks); and<\/li>\n<li>the maximum number of ordinary hours that may be worked on any day is 11.5 (excluding meal breaks); and<\/li>\n<li>an employee who is rostered to work more than 10 ordinary hours on more than 3 consecutive days is entitled to a break of at least 48 hours after the last consecutive day on which the employee works more than 10 ordinary hours; and<\/li>\n<li>the maximum number of days on which an employee may work more than 10 ordinary hours in a 4 week cycle is 8; and<\/li>\n<li>an employee (other than a casual employee) must have a minimum break of 10 hours between when the employee finishes ordinary hours on one day and starts ordinary hours on the next and a minimum break of 8 hours for a changeover of rosters; and<\/li>\n<li>an employee must have a minimum of 8 full days off work in a 4 week period; and<\/li>\n<li>the maximum spread of hours for an employee who works split shifts is 12.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>NOTE: An employee under the age of 18 years must not be required to work more than 10 hours in a shift.<\/p>\n<h3>Shiftwork<\/h3>\n<p>While it was considered that many restaurants operate on a \u201824\/7\u2019 model and can facilitate shiftwork, the Commission ultimately held that the Restaurant Industry Award does not currently contain any substantive shiftwork provisions. As such, all references to \u2018shift workers\u2019 will be removed to avoid confusion and ambiguity.<\/p>\n<h3>Breaks<\/h3>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hours
