Domino’s Pizza employees have agreed to a new wages deal that will include all penalty rates, the union for retail and fast-food workers says.

Domino’s Australia/New Zealand CEO Nick Knight said the vote was an important step in the process, with the Agreement now to go before the Fair Work Commission for consideration.

The company highlights that while the new agreement includes higher wages, it has been putting strategies in place to ensure franchises remain profitable, sustainable, and continue to prosper.

Shop, Distributive and Allied Employees (SDA) union said Domino’s drivers and store workers have overwhelmingly voted in favour of the new agreement, which locks in full penalty rates, strong conditions and higher guaranteed hours for part time workers.

SDA national secretary Gerard Dwyer said Domino’s part-time workers can now be guaranteed up to 15 hours per week, subject to their availability, an improvement on the award’s three hours per week guarantee.

“The new agreement was the culmination of more than a year and a half of negotiations, provides for wages and entitlements (including weekend penalty rates) which are among the highest in our industry, was broadly supported by the SDA Union, and now has been endorsed by our team members,” Knight said.
