That is how it works. Employees get 4 weeks of annual leave per year, if you’re part time and you work 10 hours a week, you get 40 hours of annual a year - per the National Employment Standards.
The fact that employers are breaking the law is another issue entirely.
people that use temp agencies to hire people should be forced to fight russia in ukraine, without NATO tech.
$25 an hour seems a little light in those circumstances.
But I agree, 50/50 or 60/40 to the house is probably another area that needs to be looked at.
Having said that, lockdowns and onlyfans is probably killing them already.
So you’re saying you can work 32 hours a week and get One Week annual leave per year.
That ain’t right.
That ain’t in the general vercinity of right.
Welfare payments too high, discouraging people from working and working longer hours.
I once sat down with someone with a low paid permanent part time job receiving family income benefits. Asked why she was not grabbing at every offer to get the extra shift or two - explained that the offers were rare, not continuing work, would take her over the Centrelink threshold - and when there were no shifts on offer, often for prolonged periods, it took months to get back on the Centrelink benefits.
We had multiple meetings about this at my work from HR. The only person that’s left since then is the HR person that did the presentations!! Have to laugh.
No, if you worked 32 hours a week then you would be entitled to 128 hours of annual leave - which is ~16 days. You would earn roughly 2.5 hours of annual leave for every week you worked 32 hours.
Yeah, all those dole bludgers living the high life on $340 a week. Luxury.
When Julia Banks MP said she could live on $40 a day…
I mean, nope?
It’s literally the law dude. That’s how leave is calculated for full and part timers.
You don’t get leave if you’re a casual because the loading is supposed to make up for the lack of entitlements.
That’s only $280 a week which would leave $60 left over. Over the course of a year, that’s $3,000+ free Government cash you could rake in.
I don’t understand why more people aren’t doing it!
Well Erin is getting her leave based on ‘contracted hours.’
And while she’s on 16 hours per fortnight, and I’m on 56, so do I.
I’m pretty sure this isn’t just corporates breaking the law.
A while back, the poverty line was set at having under $2k in the bank. When I was trying to teach low paid workers the importance of budgeting, putting aside small sums of savings each payday, and to ensure that they could have access to $2k semi permanently, they told me to get real. They said they could only survive payday to payday and were hunting for a few dollars in coins for basics towards the end of the pay period.
Quiting your job helps you avoid the economic system. Sounds like a genius plan.
Think all the serious people are talking about this.
We missed out on 2-3 years of 100-200k of migrants. Plus actually went backwards year one of the pandemic.
Cumulative impact is probably 500k workers we don’t have that without the pandemic we would have. It’s huge!
Why don’t politicians talk about it, becuase nobody wants to say we want to bring in half a million Indians and Chinese to fill the gap.
Ukraines will fill the gap. Govt is giving them humanitarian visas valid for 4 years, full access to working rights and Medicare, welfare - close to rights of permanent residents and more than Kiwis get with their visas, more than asylum seekers in bridging visas.
4K visas already issued.
More than 4K?
Awesome.
So ALPers(there’s a few notable ones in here).
Parachuting another white wealthy champagne socialist into a working class ethnic electorate again?
First Keneally from Scotland Island and now Charlton from Bellevue Hill of all places?
I mean cmon, WTF.
Where is the diversity? The ALP really is the ABC or Channel 9 of politics.
I can’t put myself and won’t vote for LNP or Clive but deadset can Labor quit pretending to be something it’s not?
Does not identify the number of workforce ready or skills.
A lot of the refugees in Poland etc are mothers with young children, elderly parents, the men staying behind to serve in defence. Most of the ones in Europe will be welfare dependent.
