Yep Im 18.

I did 42 hours last week (how come you did so few hours?) and got bout $450.

$11.37 is the casual award for 18 year olds negotiated by the union and Kmart.
All I can think is you did a Sunday and Boxing Day (time and a half)?

you don't get extra for xmas eve and new years eve, not a public holiday. I only started bout 8 weeks ago but am getting 5 shifts a week, I think its cos the manager likes me. Its very political though, theres a lot of bitching going on!

Hehe yeah my line manager is heaps nice, but cos its all girls cept one in apparel there is a lot of competition to get into 'the circle' which consists of the line manager, the team leader and another girl, but others want in, and omg its pretty funny. But the manager likes me and thats all that matters!

They're so hypocritical...last time when I said a few days before I couldn't come in cos of external circumstances the store manager went off at me...

Im considering quitting now...they treat me like s***
are you a casual? if you are, they can do anything to you and you cant do shit. they can sack you anytime as well.
