Restaurant Weekend & Public Holiday Penalty Wage Rates in Australia

http://www.ProfitableHospitality.com See how Australia's weekend and public holiday penalty wage rates impact on costs and bottom-line profit. This example covers Monday-Friday (no penalty), Saturday (25% penalty), Sunday (50% penalty) and public holidays (150% penalty).

For many owners, the very high cost of wages on Sundays and Public Holidays mean they will stay closed.

But are they all paying full penalty rates? That's the question - many feel they can't, and take the risk by not doing it. Nothing magic about the numbers above.

Hey this is why no cafes are open on weekends and public holidays! Oh wait, no, heaps of them are. It must be because the operators are running a charity? I think not.
