    It would be less of a change then moving from Woolies to Big W with the exception that you would need to sort out all the NZ paperwork to be able to work there, possibly a NZ bank account to get paid into, etc.

    I would put in a form for two weeks of study leave and one week of annual at half pay to cover the dentist.

    Wow, what is with all the fuss about sick leave and how it shows on your payslip, etc. You get rostered and show up to work unless you are sick. If you are sick then you ring up and give adequate notice and get paid for being sick. In my opinion all that sick leave being shown on payslips has...

    Advantage of a Tender Swap is that a cashier cannot perform it. If you fix it the Cash Purchase method then some cashiers that probably shouldn't be performing it will.

    Well that is always another option. I wish Woolworths would liase with shopping centres better and look at having a radio at the service desk to make communicating with plaza management and security easier.

    I would ask the security guards if they have a spare radio you can have at the service desk. as for the speed dial question i suggest you talk to your store manager about it as they can always put in a support request to IT. I think it would be possible, perhaps just like **4000 gets the...

    What salary is a hard question to answer since they are quite individual. What wage is an easier question to answer since its listed in the EBA but varies state to state.
