I paid like half of the excess I was getting and I "unexpectedly" quit :D And also the manager said not to pay it back so yeh. And also an accusation he made on me of stealing $50 from the till, long story :p

If you aren't sure I think there's a booklet thing you can check at your McDonald's which has the pay rates for each age

Yeah, I have an online version of it. The reason I'm curious because $9.31 is not close to any. The min for my age is $8.90 - when I turned 16 I got $8.88. And then last ween I got $9.31 - maybe I got promoted to trainer? lol

Here's the award link - https--metime.todaycorp.com-pdfs-NSWCrewSummary2006.pdf

Never knew they had the 15 week period rule, I guess they changed their award scheme, pay isn't as bad as before :p Maybe it was just your store that paid a bit extra ;)

Well like I said before, when I turned 16 in October they paid me 2 cents below award, and I don't really care about that, but what I'm curious is why the sudden increase in pay...If I ask them I might go back down to $8.88 lol

I work at Greater Union Cinemas! :) I'm sixteen and get $11.41 an hour, and the pay will increase when I've worked there for three months. Not bad, considering my friends who work at Michel's and Maccas get like, eight dollars or something.

That's quite high for a 15 y/o pay, 15 y/o's usually get around 6-7 so considering if that's your pay that's quite nice

these 6, 7, 8, 9 dollar an hour wages are stunning me to be honest, even if it is for 15, 16 yr olds.
i mean, is it worth working for 6 dollars an hour? you could work all day for not much.
