administration officer
Posted by Desleigh - 09:05 PM 19.08.12
my office brings a cleaner in once a fortnight. We are expected to empty all the bins twice a week. I have only been in this office three weeks, but the hints are getting dropped that we have to clean the bathrooms also. Is either of these duties legal for administrative officers to be expected to carry out.

Casual Leave
Posted by Rob - 02:37 PM 18.08.12
My workplace has recently introduced a system which will only allow casual workers to take time off work if they apply for it, and then recieve approval from management - Is this legal? Can they enforce such a rule? If not, where can I find this in writing?

Back-pay
Posted by Rebecca - 04:30 PM 08.08.12
If an employee is being underpaid, does their employer have to back pay them for the time that they have been underpaid?

I am currently working Mon to Thursday 8-330 at a large retailer. I have been told this job is no longer available, and need to work evenings and weekends. I am a single parent, and this is not possible for me. Can they force me ?

My employer agreed in writing to increase my work hrs by 16 permanently at a higher rate in March this year, now I have been told that he made a mistake and that this was only temporary, can he do that? he has offered for me to keep the hours but at a lower pay rate.
