Dat Coles casual rate

my gfs sister gets a higher hourly rate as safeway deli/bakery (38hr week) vs gf as microbiologist for food/drug testing company (40hr week)

(though it is shit pay and looking for new job. $8 an hour pay cut for going from casual rate to full time)

Additional benefits though, which you don't get when you've got boosted pay from Casual Loading

of course, but a 28% paycut is pretty harsh...

also: got job, already had 2 week overseas trip booked, told them upfront. offered to take leave without pay (because only been working there 2-3 months), doesnt fill in leave form because company doesnt have any documents, comes back from holiday and company used up leave till it was well into the negatives. is that legal? i find it very strange an established small business doesnt have standard forms so company can almost do what they want with these things.

25% Casual Loading is the standard rate.

Unlike Casual, Full time gets 30 paid days off per year (4 weeks annual leave + 10 days sick/carers leave)

So although the casual hourly rate is higher, with Full Time you also get given money for not working... so it does come close to evening itself out...

(52 x 5) = 260
(52 x 5) - 30 = 230 = works 12% less days, effectively raising the Full Time "hourly rate" by 12%

I don't think it's too big of a pay difference, considering job security, dismissal protection, etc etc
