Ok anyone else work for cheapskates? (33)

That has been discussed recently. At 49 unskilled I would walk from one unskilled job to another .no point really .

Ok Seren you both are correct :)
Only thing merriweather no smoke breaks allowed except for your ten minute morning tea break and lucnh break .when i smoked it turned me into a far worse chain smoker than i already was .And no mobile phones allowed on your body while u work .only allowed at morning tea and lunch times .
Unless your a smoker or standing with a smoker you arent permitted to your car or outside unless its lunch time something about stealing products and being an unpaid break .

I only work OT when forced but I'm normally stuffed after 8 hours but thats me .Co workers trying to make me feel guilty and goading me into working ot doesnt work.
I've actually turned quiet at work there are cliques and 1 clique wont talk to me full stop.When I talk about work i get my head bitten off last time I retorted Im doing my job see the team leader if theres a worry .Then i reported the person didnt do any good mind you but i felt better lol

I lost my job on July 1 two years ago.

By law they are supposed to give me medical insurance until the end of the month. When I inquired about that I was told "we don't do that". So much for the law.

They are also supposed to give me unused vacation days. When I inquired about that I got the same response "we don't do that".

They even tried to wiggle out of unemployment but they lost on that one.

Guess where I worked...........in a law office.

Micky, I think you will find that the company for which you work is in breach of industrial and taxation law in several ways.
Companies are required by law to put sick leave and all other entitlements on a pay slip. Even if the money is deposited directly into a bank account, the company is required to give you a pay slip, whether that be electronically or physically.
The company is also required by law to give you a physical group certificate.
If you are not a member of the relevant trade union, it is time to join.

Good idea Carl I will get the union rep take it up with the union .Didnt think it was against the law so thanks I'll let you know what theunion says .

It's no wonder people don't want to employ new workers, too many out to get all their lurks and perks. If sick leave is what you're after, maybe a council or public service job would be suit?

Your joking Daggy I've been with this company for 18 years, job before that lasted me 13 yrs .
I'm 49 got arthritis and now gout lol .And I get up every day and do my job .If you cant have a sick day when your sick and give them a sick cert there is a problem somewhere

By the way Daggy I used to live in the port adelaide enfeild council area .Never saw the council workers do much work but I could take you to spots that they would be sitting in do nothing late in the afternoon.
Unlike the West Torrens council I live in now they always seem to be working

A lurk or perk is something on top of what the award for your job is.
Getting a physical Group certificate is not a lurk or perk, it is a right.

The award I am in allows 8 sick days a year, 3 days without certificate. And they accrue. I know I can ring our Paymistress at any stage and ask how many days I have up. Gee we have one long term employee retiring at the end of the month and the Paymistress is encouraging her to take her sick leave using stat decs as you dont get paid for days accrued.

A good employer will support their workers, it doesnt always happen but sometimes you can be lucky.


gee Daggy, I dont think I would want to be employed by you if you think getting payslips and group certificates is a perk!
