deathbot posted:In many industries work on Saturday or Sunday will attract a premium on the ordinary hourly rate. Sunday work is usually paid at double the ordinary rate. However some workplace agreements have averaged out the weekday/weekend difference in rates. In some industries when working on the weekend the employee is entitled to extra paid work breaks. I meant to ask more specifically if weekend pay applies to Australian service sector jobs.

deathbot posted:A bit of a blank space for me as I am no expert on the dark mechanics of wage and taxation, but I know some fast food, retail and hospitality people have special weekend pay because it's been all over the news lately that the government's slashing as much of it as they can get away with. See, I've worked plenty of different service jobs over the years and that's something I'm not familiar with in the States; here, it's just a given that you work weekends especially to deal with customer demand. Just another way the proles get screwed and don't even know how people live in other developed countries, I suppose.
