ok, what can i do? (1 Viewer)

[...]

i'm a part time night filler for my coles supermarket

i'm rostered this wk monday, tuesday, thursday, friday and saturday

however, i was just told the night before, that i am not working on tuesday cos the store can't afford to double and a half pay me since the load is not done.

of course, i will not be paid

however, my case is, being part time, i'm rostered and i should be entitled for that pay right?
also, its not me thats dragging the team down...its other people and this was obiviosly shown during the fill

the manager said ring the boss up if i have any problems, so i was wondering what are your opinions as to what i should do and not do

i think your sig answers the question for you

depending on the situation, just speak to your boss. ask him, not so much demand, that shouldn't you be getting these hours due to your job description. maybe you are a casual? but yeh imo, unless you know your boss for at least a year you need to play the can you please let me know why i am not getting it tone instead of give me the hours tone.

hope that makes sense. this is majorish so be careful.

ring up industrial relations and speak to them about it, they should give u some advice (if they're open)

and my other advice is to start low with ur complaint, dont go straight to the boss, speak to ur manager first, then take the complaint to a higher 'level'..

hope it goes well!

the manager said "talk to the boss" and my friend was nice and stood me up on the spot, but the manager said "is it ur problem? no, go back to your work"

so i guess i'm going straight to the "manager's office"

rahul: i'm a part time, not a casual

ask the union *shrugs*

soto get this straight - they have only cancellled you and not your friend? is that why your friend was sticking up for you? or did they cancel the whole team but because you are part time you have other rights?

they cancel the whole nights fill (which had another 3 people in it)

And how does the store expect anything to be on the shelves for tomorrow?

 

[Ranger Stacie]

i thought that if you were rostered on, they had to give you that work even if they didnt need you. and you didnt have to take "early marks" if you didnt want them

i got asked to skip an aussie day public holiday cos one of the people on contract was supposed to be on. I said no i wanted the money and that was that

i just got told that the store can't afford to make such a loss anymore so they have to let people go and i happened to be one of them...(can't do much cos i'm casual...ah easy come easy go i guess..i only just got it too.)

They are allowed to cut back on part-time shifts without much notice if necessary, or so I was told (I was just dropped for a month seeing as though I was a casual member of staff at the time). No harm in asking, though (I guess).

damn, let you go altogether? that sucks. i hate being new, nothing is stable and everything is foreign.

they stopped your shifts for a month? that sucks too. was it after you asked a question?

It happened in the January lull of 2003 that was exacerbated by another Coles supermarket opening in the general area. I was a 'secure' casual by that stage, but they just could not afford to employ me for a period. I was far from being the only member of staff to suffer, too.
