i am a 17 year old casual employee, what kind of bonus pay will i get for working boxing day and new years?? haha

Double time and a half for public holidays.

Your pay x 2.5

 

[BSammy]

not quite.

it will be the permanent pay rate x 2.7

as opposed to your normal rate of the permanent pay rate x 1.2


i don't know what state you are in but if you were in VIC for example, by my calculation, as a 17 year old casual

boxing day you'd get $29.28 an hour

and new years you'd get $29.72 an hour

 

[the way to go]

on the payslips, is everyone in FE now "Store Team Member" rather than "Service Cashier" or is it just me...?

 

[BSammy]

yeah i noticed that

 

[oldmanjoe]

not quite.

Yeah yeah, that's what I meant

Why would they be different? Is it Victorian legislation? In TAS, all public holidays are paid at the same rate.

Not me

I am also Store team member, I thought it may have been because I now do most of my hours in Liquor instead of front end, but clearly not.

Checkouts are good - just make sure you keep busy when there are no customers, or else you'll get bored pretty easily.

Accept extra shifts whenever you can - they'll keep calling you if you do.

Deli is great, there is always something to do or something to clean.

hmm interesting, what do you do in front end?

Heyo! Been paid!

only just got paid?

 

[iMatthew]

Heyo! Been paid!

Spend wisely, you won't be getting another pay for 10/11 days
My rosters came back at midnight thankfully.

 

[the way to go]

hm, i've been paid for days i havnt worked yet, and for a shift that i gave someone else...

wow, thats stupid.

 

[hahahayley]

My contract roster means I should be working Boxing Day, yet online rosters don't have me down for my usual shift. Neither my manager or 2IC spoke to me about this, so I will be checking the store roster again tomorrow and talking to one of them. I know I'm entitled to the day off with pay but just want to clarify if it will be put through at penalty or not? The agreement says that employees choosing not to work on holidays traded will be paid according to sub clause 7.5. I'm in Victoria and this clause says I'm entitled to day without loss of pay INCLUSIVE of applicable penalties.

So it reads that I will get my 250%, but just want to make sure. I'll be talking to them about work anyway, regarding not giving me a choice to work or not - especially as I was given no warning that I'd be given the day off which meant that I made no travel plans to go see my family.

Christmas pay usually gets done differently as the pay is supposed to be run on Tuesday (but Tuesday is x-mas) so it's probably been run in advance based on the roster

 

[BSammy]

yeah, due to tuesday being the public holiday, the pay was processed early.


however the same thing will happen next week due to the tuesday being a public holiday again.

THEN we suffer from the long week with no money
