Hungry Jack's Pay Rates 2026: Crew, Cook & Manager Pay

Hungry Jack's is covered by the Fast Food Industry Award (MA000003). Hungry Jack's operates a mix of corporate and franchise stores; the award applies in both.

From 1 July 2025:

• Level 1 (crew member): $27.81/hr permanent / $34.76/hr casual
• Level 2 (cook, trainer): $29.45/hr / $36.81/hr
• Level 3 (shift supervisor): $29.91/hr / $37.39/hr

Same percentages as KFC under the same award:

• Under 16: $11.12/hr (40%)
• 16: $13.91/hr (50%)
• 17: $16.69/hr (60%)
• 18: $19.47/hr (70%)
• 19: $22.25/hr (80%)
• 20: $25.03/hr (90%)

Increases apply from the first pay period after the birthday — easy to miss, check your next payslip.

Permanent adult Level 1:

• Saturday: $34.76/hr (125%)
• Sunday: $41.71/hr (150%)
• Public holiday: $62.57/hr (225%)
• 10pm-midnight: 110%
• Midnight-6am: 115%

Most issues are franchise-level rather than corporate. Check that:

• Hourly rate matches the award figure for your age and level
• Junior rate updated on time after birthday
• Weekend penalties applied — Sunday should be 150%, not the same as a weekday
• Late-night loadings paid (after 10pm)

If something's off, email the franchise owner with the math. If unresolved, contact the FWO on 13 13 94.
