    Hey guys, This may have been asked before (sorry if it has), but my sister works at Coles and says that from 6PM Christmas Eve pay is considered as if it's a public holiday in terms of pay. Does anything like this apply for Woolworths for tommorow? Thanks for the help. On another note, can...

    The Woolworths Thread

    Guys what's your view on the union? I've heard various stories about it,a nd wondering if I should perhaps join. As a fifteen year old employee and one who's always curious and worried about his rights, that is. On another note, are employees payed extra after 9PM? Worked for the first time...

    Yeah I guess it is good money; but you didn't really want to work in the first place. I understand that there's times when people call in sick or something happens on short notice and employees need to be replaced and called in, just seems I can never seem to say 'sorry, can't work the extra...

    Ah, ok. I'm thinking about going to my manager and asking for just weekend shifts, as opposed to the Friday, Sat, Sunday shifts. But I'm afraid (yes, I'm not very gutsy -_-'') they'd get pissed off; but I found out one of my fellow employees only works every Friday. Do you guys think my manager...

    So...who has actually..

    I personally don't see anything wrong with Deli. It's one of thsoe things you don't mind doing as a job, or down right hate. My Deli s quite freaking huge, and along with all the 'express' areas around us (express dairy, chicken etc.) my job isn't very hard. Needles to say, a smaller Deli would...

    Yes, thats true. Normally I wouldn't cancel three shifts on such abrupt notice, but since I'm sick, I'll present the doctor's certificate so my manager understands that I am, infact, not fit to work. Casuals who do cancel just for the hell of it do ruin it for the rest of us who one day will...

    I understand that, but I don't see myself fit to work sick in the Deli Depertment, and I'll be going to the doctor's tommorow morning to get a certificate to give to my store manager (despite not needing it), I however fear he could dismiss me purely because he may not like me now (I always have...

    Hey guys, Coming down with a cold/flu (god damn I wish my immune system wasn't a piece of crap), and this is the first time it's happening with me fully working (as a casual, but last time I got sick was when I had induction stuff). Anyway, my Deli Manager seems to be away lately, so I...

    The Pay Thread

    Would the adjustment and thus the pay Im owed be given to me when it's adjusted, or the following weeks' pay? As in, if they fix the problem on a Monday, would the pay come through on Monday, or on the day I get payed weekly (Wednesday?). Thanks for the help :)

    Hey guys, Just a quick question in regards to my previous problem (writing the wrong hours on my sign in sheet). My department manager said on Thursday she'd deal with it today, and I still haven't gotten payed, so I'm wondering if the overdue pay will come on my next pay day (aka Wednesday)...

    Hey guys, I worked on Sunday evening (4-9) and wrote down my shifts on the paper for my department as I'm still new, so no finger scanner for me just yet. Problem is, I remember talking to a new guy there and probably got distracted and not sure if I wrote the right hours. I remember signing...
