10-hour Break Following Overtime at Hugh Cunningham Gardens

10-hour Break Following Overtime at Hugh Cunningham Gardens

Wednesday 4 March, 2026

HSU members at RSL Lifecare Hugh Cunningham Gardens have raised concerns about not receiving the full 10-hour break after working overtime.
 
Your Enterprise Agreement clearly outlines your entitlement to overtime payments when your employer requires you to start your next shift after overtime without receiving the full ten-hour break.
 
Have you worked a double shift (overtime) and then worked morning shift the next day?
  • Check your payslips to make sure you were paid overtime rates for the whole of the morning shift
  • Email payroll requesting an audit of your time sheets to identify the backpay owed including the applicable superannuation contributions
For any questions or to find out more, please reach out to HSU Organiser Lisa Bourke at lisa.bourke@hsu.asn.au or 0409 744 165 or your Member Services Division on 1300 478 679.
