Accor Hotels Pay Rates 2026: Bar, Floor, Kitchen & Casual Pay

Accor is one of the largest hotel operators in the country, running properties under its own Accor brands and the Mantra portfolio it acquired, from CBD business hotels to regional and resort properties. Hotel teams cover front office, housekeeping, food and beverage and maintenance roles, with a workforce that leans more towards permanent full-time and part-time positions than casual shifts.

The pay floor for hotel roles is the Hospitality Industry (General) Award 2020. Accor has a registered enterprise agreement in our corpus (listed below where it applies); wherever a property isn't covered by an agreement, the award ladder and penalty rates below are what should be on the payslip.

The federal awards relevant to Accor Hotels roles:

• Hospitality Industry (General) Award 2020 (MA000009)

From 1 July 2026 the Hospitality Industry (General) Award 2020 (MA000009) adult minimums in the food, beverage and clerical streams are:

Weekend, late-night and public holiday penalties apply on top — check a specific shift with the penalty rates calculator. Junior rates apply under 21 (percentages of the adult rate, except that liquor-service roles are adult-rated from 18).

As at 22 September 2026, our corpus of 14,141 federally registered enterprise agreements holds no current agreement for Accor Hotels. That usually means one of three things: the employer pays on the award (or on individual contracts above it), the agreement covering you is registered under a different entity name (check the employer name on your payslip and search our agreements database), or — for state public-sector employers — pay is set by a state award or agreement outside the federal register. If you have a copy of an agreement that names Accor Hotels, it beats the award figures above.

The patterns worth checking on a Accor Hotels payslip:

• Flat rates that don't beat the penalties — an 'all-in' hourly rate must leave you better off than the award's weekend, late-night and public holiday loadings for your actual roster.
• Unpaid set-up and pack-down before opening and after close.
• Introductory level for too long — it is a three-month, no-experience rate, not a permanent grade.
• Split and broken shifts without the award's allowances, and casual shifts under the minimum engagement.

Match your payslip to your classification in the agreement (or the award tables above), and price any gap with our back-pay calculator. Raise it in writing with payroll or your manager first — most underpayments are fixed at that step. Unresolved, the Fair Work Ombudsman (13 13 94) recovers underpayments at no cost, up to six years back, and your union can run the claim for you. Not sure which instrument covers you?
