Recovering compensation for KFC workers who did not get 10 minute rest breaks when working shifts of 4 hours or more.

We are claiming that:

1. KFC and KFC Franchisees failed to provide 10 minute rest breaks that workers are legally entitled to;
2. As a result – KFC and KFC Franchisees contravened the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth); and
3. Compensation should be paid to KFC employees for each and every 10 minute rest break they are owed.

No. Gordon Legal is obliged to keep your information confidential once registered for the class action. You do not have to tell KFC that you have registered with us.

• There are no upfront or out of pocket costs for group members. The SDA are contributing towards the legal costs in the KFC Rest Breaks Class Action because they know how important it is that KFC workers get what they are owed.
• Any excess costs will be funded by Gordon Legal on a no-win no-fee basis.
• This means that legal costs will only be charged if there is a successful outcome, such as a settlement or a judgment of the Court. If the class action is not successful, there will be no costs payable by group members.

A class action, also known as a group proceeding, is a court procedure brought by one or more individuals known as representative applicants on their own behalf and on behalf of other people who have similar claims against the same party or parties (the respondent(s)). The individuals in the wider group are known as group members.

Class actions are brought to resolve common issues of fact or law for the wider group. It is not necessary that group members have identical claims. In fact, it is to be expected that there will differences between the loss and damage suffered by each individual group member.

Class actions allow people to access justice when they otherwise would not bring an individual claim.
