Re: Employment Advice Line

I'm wondering how taxes are deducted? I got paid about $ 18 per hour as nightfill at Big W and how many % will be deducted as taxes? I am Casual and I work mostly from 7 pm to Midnight and sometime up to 1 or 2 am. Am I entitled some extra $$ by working in such late night shifts? Please enlighten me

Re: Employment Advice Line

There's an withholding tax chart published by the ATO that tells employers how much to deduct based on your fortnightly pay. I have one lying around at home somewhere.

And yes, you're entitled to extra pay working late night shifts. Check your EBA. For Safeway/Woolies, there's an extra loading for working past 10pm - don't remember how much but it's in the lines of 50%. Woolies, so far, are pretty good payers so it should already be taken into account.

Seeing as you're probably 19 or 20, $18/hour for nightfill sounds like they've put that loading on for you.

Again, check your EBA.

Re: Employment Advice Line

I got the pay rates sheet which I don't understand at the moment. hourly rate is 17.61, overtime 1.5 first is $ 25.0005, overtime doubletime is $ 32.29 ; 25% loading is 21.28, 30% loading is $ 22.02. What is the meaning of these overtime first, overtime doubletime and loading please.

Re: Employment Advice Line

question: i applied online for woolies about maybe a week ago (less even) and i wanted to look up the job i applied for again so i could check the closing date for application...i know i got in in the right time frame, i just forgot the date and wanted to know...but even after i entered exactly the same search info they said there were no jobs matching my criteria - does this mean that they have filled the position i applied for and just havent told me?

Re: Employment Advice Line

it will simply disappear if it already reached the closing date. You can look again using your browser History on internet explorer but it will say its no longer available or something like that. I think you'll get an email from them in about a week or so from the closing date.

They take it off usually during the interview process. Well, that's what it was for me. They called me 2 days after the close date and the ad removed a few days after.

They shoudl call you soon if they want you in for a group interview and most people do get through to the group interview stage if you fulfilled criteria (liek citizenship and age etc).

From personal experience, I wouldn't recommend it. I went in to my local coles with a resume and got my head bitten off. They sound pretty strict on their "online application" policy.

Is crazy if they're acting like that to potential employees; ultimately, they want to have their candidate pool as large as possible. Further, you're a (potential) customer, and shouldn't have your head bitten off under any (reasonable) circumstances. You were probably dealing with someone who wasn't quite as informed as they should have been, but I'd be writing a complaint to head office regarding how it was dealt with, and remind them they're discriminating against those without internet facilities, and in turn on age and socioeconomic basis, which are legal offences.

You might even get a Coles gift voucher out of it!

...Though, come to think of it, I don't know that I'd want to work under/with people who'd bite my head off for something so little.

Re: Employment Advice Line

i work at kmart....did two weeks at citybeach parra but didnt like it and well didnt bother ringin up for more shifts.....

btw aryanbeauty..overtime first means you get paid 1.5times your normal pay and the same goes for overtime double (2 times normal pay)...you get them if you work on weekends..usually sundays altho not to sure about bigw eba...and the other two you mentioned are the ones that apply if you work past a certain time on normal paid days (monday to friday or saturday..again check your eba), and also go look up the tax sheets under the ato site...heres the link http://www.ato.gov.au/content/downloads/n1005-05-2007.pdf it would be wise to check the tax bigw takes out of your pay against the rates on the ato table..if theres a discrepancy ask your payroll office to clear it up
