“McDonald’s has settled on terms for a new collective employment agreement with Unite union.

One of the elements of the new agreement is around security of hours. We know that having security of hours is important to our people, which is why on April 13 we announced that a guarantee of hours would be formally written into our employment agreements.

Since April 13 we have been working through the technical detail with Unite, along with other elements of the agreement. The terms we have now agreed with Unite union regarding security of hours are:

From 1 October 2015, all McDonald’s employees will be offered 80% security of hours, up to a 32 hour weekly cap, based on the average of the previous fixed quarterly worked hours.”
