See the full topic listExample of Beryl in action. Question: Under the general retail award, what overtime is paid for a casual when they only had 9.5 hours break between shifts? Beryl’s answer: Under the General Retail Industry Award, an employee must have a minimum rest break of 12 hours between when they finish work on one day and start work on the next (Clause 16.6(a)). You and the employee can agree to reduce this minimum break to 10 hours (Clause 16.6(d)). Because the casual employee in your scenario only had a 9.5-hour break, they have not met either minimum rest break requirement. As a result, you must pay the employee at a rate of 200% of their minimum hourly rate for each hour worked until they receive a break of 12 consecutive hours (Clause 16.6(b)).
