Wow Pizza Haven pays cash in hand?? I didn't think a recognised chain like them would pay cash in hand...man when I was 17 I only got $8.50 cash in hand, so your wage is pretty good!

i think there is a thread a while ago made by me in the non-school section where heaps of people wrote where they worked and how much they got paid
it might be called part time jobs
wow, how'd you get that job?? ive always wanted to work in a bookstore but i thought they only hire oldies.

^ $8.70 for a 16 yr old is not crappy pay, I guess you could do better but I would be happy with that if I were in your situation

I think i have the shittest job of the lot.

i work casual at Big W and i have to call at about 4:30pm every afternoon to see if i am working that night from 7-10pm. sometimes i dont know if im working until 6:30.

i do really hard work (and work back late) and get only $10 an hour.

if i turn down work for one night (i did it on my 18th birthday) i dont get shifts for at least a WEEK!!!

argh!!!!

p.s. sometimes i dont get paid for staying back either... :(

Most of you seem to expect much more than you deserve... You are only young part time or casual workers in the service industry, so I can't see why you are all expecting great wages.

Edit: I'm at coles, working in a set casual position, and I really can't complain about my pay rate.
