This guide outlines things to keep in mind when you are using Deputy and inputting and reviewing the time and attendance information of your employees under the [MA000003] Fast Food Industry Award (FFIA). You can find the FFIA here: http://awardviewer.fwo.gov.au/award/show/MA000003.
While Deputy’s Pay Rule Engine, including this award, is designed to Simplify Shift Work by reducing the time required to apply the relevant Legal Requirements through automation, it is not a substitute for payroll or legal advice, nor is it intended to relieve you of your obligation to comply with the Legal Requirements applicable to your business. It is ultimately each customer’s sole responsibility to pay its employees correctly and in compliance with all Legal Requirements. Please review our Product Specific Terms for more information about your compliance responsibilities.
In Deputy, you will need to make a number of selections and input various information. Initially one of the first things you will see are the ‘sectors’ for the award for Full-Time, Part-Time and Casual employees.
Important Things To Note Before Using This Award
- If you do not see a pay rule listed in the tables below, then it is not included in the Deputy Premium platform at this time. If you are interested in adding customized pay rules to your account, please consider our Enterprise plan.
- Ordinary Hours - No Averaging: Some modern awards allow ordinary hours to be arranged in multiple ways, including averaging hours over several days, weeks or roster cycles. Deputy Premium does not currently accommodate these options.
- Penalty Rates in Full Hour Increments Only: Deputy does not pro-rate penalty rates for partial hours worked. Penalty rates are applied to timesheets in full hour increments only.
- Public Holidays: Customers who wish to use a Public Holiday pay rule must designate a day as a Public Holiday on the Deputy schedule.
- Casual Loading: If your employee is entitled to a casual loading, you must include that in the employee's base hourly rate in order for the pay rules to function properly. Deputy does not automatically include a casual loading.
Below you will find tables that list the pay rules Deputy applies to each 'sector.'

Casual Sectors
***Important Note for Casual Employees: Deputy does not apply a separate 25% casual loading to the customer nominated base rate of pay for casual employees. Employers will need to ensure when setting up an employee profile they incorporate the relevant 25% casual loading to each casual employee's base hourly rate in Deputy. 1.00x below is equivalent to the rate and a casual loading***
