Contact McDonald's

Saxon worked at McDonald's in Sunbury, Victoria as Product Quality Manager (from November 2024). HR and his store need to know he has died.

This page does not replace official death notifications — the funeral director or family may also need to provide a death certificate.

Why call them

  1. Stop expecting Saxon on roster — avoids confusion and worry for coworkers.
  2. Final pay, leave, and super — payroll handles what he is owed.
  3. Return of uniform or keys — if Saxon had store property at home.
  4. Workplace support — his team may want to attend the funeral or send condolences.

Before you call

  1. Have Saxon's full name: Saxon Brooker.
  2. Have date of birth: 30 April 2004 (stores sometimes use this to find HR records).
  3. Have approximate date of death ready.
  4. Decide who is calling — next of kin or estate representative.
  5. You do not need Saxon's employee ID from these docs — HR can search by name.

Sunbury restaurant

Saxon's career path at the same store: Crew Person → Crew Coach → Shift Manager → Product Quality Manager. See Career.

Step-by-step: tell the restaurant

  1. Call or visit McDonald's Sunbury during quieter hours if possible (not peak lunch rush).
  2. Ask for the Restaurant Manager or Area Manager.
  3. Say clearly: "I am calling to inform you that Saxon Brooker, who worked as Product Quality Manager, has died."
  4. Give the date of death if you are comfortable sharing it.
  5. Ask who handles HR and payroll for crew at this restaurant — often a regional or people team.
  6. Write down the name and callback number they give you.

Step-by-step: HR and payroll

  1. Call the HR / People line McDonald's gives you (or use mcdonalds.com.au → Contact for corporate numbers).
  2. Explain Saxon Brooker, Sunbury store, has died.
  3. Ask about:
  4. Final pay and accrued leave
  5. Superannuation — which fund and how death benefits work
  6. Any outstanding rosters or shifts to cancel
  7. Return of uniform, keys, or ID
  8. Ask where to send the death certificate when you have it.
  9. Ask if Employee Assistance or grief resources exist for his team.

What you might need later

Do not share Saxon's passwords with McDonald's

They do not need his phone PIN or Vaultwarden login. Only official estate contacts and certificates.

McDonald's certifications (for your records)

Saxon held food safety and leadership certs through McDonald's and external trainers — see Certifications. These do not need action after death; HR may note them when closing the file.

If this goes wrong

Nobody at the store knows Saxon

  • Spell the name. Try "Product Quality Manager" or previous role "Shift Manager."
  • Ask for Area Manager or call McDonald's Australia corporate contact.

You reach voicemail only

  • Leave name, relationship, callback number, and that Saxon Brooker (Sunbury) has died. Call back the next business day.

They ask for employee number

  • Check Saxon's phone for a McDonald's work app, payslip email, or ask HR to search by DOB 30/04/2004.

Pay goes to the wrong account

  • Stop and involve the estate solicitor before giving new bank details.

Coworkers contact you on social media

  • Thank them. Direct roster/pay questions to the store manager or HR.
