Minimum Wage...

[matty88]

When I was last working I was largely underpaid, $6 an hour it worked out to be, even though I was on an Award Wage. $300 a week I was pulling in, as there was no tax. I didn't have to sign anything at all, all cash in hand. Very very dodgy IMO

I fail to see what the problem is.

She is 18, more than likely unqualified, and works in retail.

I remember when I was a uni student, I was getting around $12 an hour casual when I was 20.

Can't really expect any more than that I'm afraid.

Yeah I think your on the money (no pun intended). I don;t think she would be earning much more in a similar shop Dylan, its just the way it is.

And may I ask where you work, is it the same as the situation at hand?

 

[hsvpunk]

it all depends on the industry you work in, to how much u get per hour, week, etc...

im a baker, so im on a good wager.
but i know a few retail people, and they arnt on good money.they sit on abt $9-$11.50 for a casual, part time basis.
But still ring wageline, and see what they say.

Thats really sounds like a ****ty wage when I left school I worked at Hungry Jacks for a while, 18yr old casual rates and I was getting $14 something bucks an hr- this was 11 years ago now too.

thats pretty bad for casual, im part time and a full time uni student and i get around $12.50 an hour, and i work 10 hours a week and get about 150 after tax....


DOUBLE TIME FTW!

btw who does she work for? i just recently found out that I.G.A (where i work) pays more then woolies, i couldnt believe it *shocked face*


EDIT: im 19.

But she could be working at macca's, KFC, or HJ's and be getting paid like $4 an hour more.

She is getting paid HALF my BASE rate and im only 20, also working in retail.

If it were part time or permanent $10 wouldn't be such a big deal... But casual positions should have atleast a 20% loading over part time and permanent pay rates.

So why doesn't she just up and go somewhere else?

She has to chase the money, its not going to come to her.
