What breaks should I be getting at Endeavour Group?
You have a right to take breaks at work and it’s important that all Endeavour Group workers are receiving the correct rest and meal breaks. Endeavour Group EBA details your entitlement to unpaid meal breaks and paid rest breaks. Rest breaks, also known as ‘tea breaks’, are paid, short pauses that allow you to recharge before continuing your shift. Meal breaks are longer, unpaid periods of rest during your workday that provide an opportunity to have a meal.

What are my penalty rates at Endeavour Group?
Penalty rates are higher rates of pay you earn for working outside the ordinary hours. Penalty rates can apply to late evenings and early mornings, weekends and public holidays.
