I've got 27.5hrs this week, yay!! But I'm getting sooo bored of the songs and checking out stuff cuz I've been at work everyday since last Friday and it doesn't stop till this Thurs..
Sunday is not double time, OR double time and a half (unless it falls on a public holiday ofcourse). Sundays are time and a half (1.7x), and it is not the casual wage x 1.7, it is the part time wage for your age.I've got a question about pay rates to ask. Hopefully one of you could help me. I'm a casual service cashier and when my supervisor came round asking if I could work on Sundays, Boxing Day and 28/12, I said I could so she put me down. Thing is, she told me Sundays would be paid double time and a half but when I saw my payslip for last week (last week was the first Sunday I worked), it was NOT 2.5x. In fact, it was even less than double time, just slightly under. A colleague said it's because they converted it to full-time pay or something. Could someone help me out here, or do I have to talk to my supervisor? I don't really want to cuz I don't wanna look stupid by asking that lol.
Any service cashiers get cut frequently from boxes or hit your hands accidentally against the screens and stuff? I keep getting cut at work that it's not even funny anymore.
That Wonderful Christmas Time song is stuck in my head atm cuz I saw the title a few pages back. SIGH. Just when I get it OUT of my head when I finished work...
We've had interesting late night shopping experiences in my store (in WA). Some aboriginal family came in last week and her kids were walking around. Mum, at the end of shopping, yelled at our supervisors, "Why the f*** do you keep staring at my family?" Bla bla bla and her voice got louder and louder. Basically, she was insinuating that we were being racist but apparently, someone told me her daughter was taking the cherries and spitting the pips all over. Now, if THAT isn't stealing, I don't know what is.
in future, if a card doesn't read properly, try putting it in a plastic bag and swiping it through the plastic, or wrapping some receipt paper around and swiping it... makes them read so much easier somehow.
Never let a customer attempt to key in their card number. It is an easy way for thieves to use a skimmed card number. Call your supervisor over next time.
Pretty sure since Store Release 9.3, you can no longer manually key in card details
I didn't know you could key in the card number manually, and I did call somebody over, the svr was on break so i called the s/s girl who does svision sometimes. Needless to say, she did not know what to do lol - "go ask xxxx".
As I think Mat already said, Sundays are paid (for casuals) as 1.7 x the full time rate. Public Holidays are 2.7 times.I've got a question about pay rates to ask. Hopefully one of you could help me. I'm a casual service cashier and when my supervisor came round asking if I could work on Sundays, Boxing Day and 28/12, I said I could so she put me down.

Nah public holidays are 2.5x it appears.

Ah, so basically everything we didn't earn from the July increase will be paid in lump sum? Cool
Pfft why are Sunday's in NZ only paid at normal rates? (As in Sunday is just a normal day)
