Grill’d could be forced to pay full weekend penalty rates to thousands of employees for the first time in years after unions lodged cases to force the burger chain to axe its expired wage deals.
The Shop Distributive and Allied Employees Association has applied to terminate Grill’d’s central enterprise agreement covering 149 corporate stores, which expired in July last year and pays no weekend penalty rates, and revert its 4300 workers back to the fast-food industry award.
