allegations they were not provided legally required rest breaks during their shifts. Hundreds of former and current KFC workers throughout the Riverina region of New South Wales may be eligible for compensation over claims they were denied mandatory rest breaks while on duty. The issue is expected to affect staff across several outlets, with many employees potentially entitled to back payments or other compensation if breaches of workplace entitlements are confirmed. The matter highlights the importance of employers complying with award conditions and workplace laws governing breaks and shift arrangements. Wagga Wagga, the largest city in the Riverina, serves as the principal regional centre for the area where the affected workers are located. Current and former employees are being encouraged to review their work records and seek advice regarding their potential entitlements.
