my BIGW induction was the most boring 7 hours i have spent (2 Viewers)

[wevil]

I had my BIGW induction yesterday from 10:30am till 4 in the arvo & there where over 150 new staff beeing inducted. they said a person aged 18 to 20 gets paid $10.40 & u get an auto payrise on your birthday.

so my first nightfill shift is on the 30th. there so much to look forward to this new job.

& yes all 150 people got paid for this induction

I've sat through 2 Australia Post inductions in previous years, and yes, they are quite boring, especially watching the same videos again! However, when they take you down to the floor to do a bit of "practical" training, then it's a bit more "fun". All this for a job which only lasts 3.5 weeks

That 10.40 is for ppl on the 3 months probation? or all..
cus 10.40 is like.. low..

think on the bright side.. you just got another $70 in your bank!!

 

[Eagles]

well, just checked

I get $12.52.
I'm 19 and on probation.

im guessing that "probation" is where people who stay a job only a short time get a lower amount than normally paid- if so, what about if i start a new job and my birthday falls within the probation period? would i still get a pay rise?

also...if i transfer to another store interstate does the probation period start again?

probation at big w is like the 'trial period' other stores have, it lasts for 3 months and those new employees on probation get a lower pay rate until they finish probation..
imnot sure what would happen if your birthday fell within the probation period, maybe a slight pay rise?

its really not that bad considering they are on probation and they dont get casual loading. Plus seen as its night fill dont u get paid a little more cause its shit hours?

its only if u start when u are 18-20

e.g if u start when 18 on your 19 birthday u should get a payrise of maybe a dollar

 

[pLuvia]

haha target was boring too

maccas is worse thank god im quitting from that shit hole

 

[sped_kid01]

u get paid 12.51 when ur 18 at big w....

when ur 19 = 14. something

and 20= 17. something

 

[wevil]

I guess it depends from what section of the store u work at
