Whether foreign students or office workers face exploitation or unfair treatment at work in Australia, as was the case last year, the 7-11-gram deduct reported last year seems to be continuing. So how to avoid unfair treatment in Australia? first of all, you need to know these 10 things:
1. If your visa is a student visa, you must not work more than 40 hours a fortnightly during school. There is no limit on your working hours during the holidays.
2. You should receive a paycheck with your working hours, salary levels, and any taxes paid to the government, even if you get cash.
3. You have the right to a minimum wage.
4. If you work at night, weekend or public holiday, you have a right to more income.
5. You must provide a tax number to work.
6. 你的雇主不能强迫你签署一个特别的合同。
7. 在你开始你的课程之前，你不能工作。
8. 你的雇主不能用商品或者服务来支付你的薪水。
9. If you earn more than $450 a month, your employer must pay your pension.
10. You can join your union.
Besides, it doesn't matter if you're really unlucky to meet a black-hearted boss at home. Here are some ways to complain about these black-hearted bosses in order to ensure their rights and interests:
The minimum wage in Australia is about $17 per hour and may vary slightly from year to year or from state to state. Please refer to Fair Work's official website at www.fairwork.gov.au
Any employer who pays less than the minimum wage standard is an offence and the employee may download and submit a claim form and provide the corresponding evidence. (The minimum wage standard does not include a contract worker, such as a project payment of $500. The hourly wage or weekly or annual salary calculation is included in the minimum wage standard. )
The evidence includes (is not limited to) more than two items:
1. Work record (employees need to keep a detailed record of the time, location, length of work)
2. Any witness (employees working in the same employer may testify against each other in order to defend the rights and interests of the staff)
3. Audio recording (employee can provide audio conversation record, conversation content needs to be related to salary standard)
4. Any graphic evidence (any graphic proof that can prove that the employee is working at the employer)
5. Any other proof that the employer is in breach of the minimum wage law
(employees are requested to submit applications within 18 months of employment or termination of employment)
The complaint is illegal in the form of wages or other labour issues:
