Lunch and break timesThursday 15 May 2008
Hi, Just an inquiry, a new company just took over and I start work at 8:30. My first break is at 9:15 when it use to be 10:30. My lunch time is 11. Who has lunch at 11 when that's considered as morning tea? is this even right? My metabolism is very very fast, I get hungry so quick and when im really hungry I cannot bear the pain. My lasty break is at 2:15 which I finish at 5pm. Can you pleae help and do you find this acceptable? So in addition I start work 45 minutes later I have a break, then about 1hr and 20 mins I have my lunch. then 2hrs and 15 minutes later I have my last break and then work 2.45 hrs straight. I work in a call centre. Thank You kindly

BIG BROTHER WORKING CONDITIONSWednesday 14 May 2008
Work as a Investor Services Representative and have your whole day monitored and even have your toilet breaks posted to your whole team. If it is over a certain amount of time it is highlighted in red. No mention of this in the contract. How degrading!

Sick baby?Wednesday 14 May 2008
During a sit down discussion with my bosses regarding my intention to return to work after maternity leave, I asked them what would happen when I've used all of my sick days and carers leave but am required to stay home with my baby if he is sick. My bosses said "you would then have to make the decision... if you should stay on or leave your job. Because you would have used all your sick leave and carers leave days". Is this right? Can they do this?

Return to Work after Maternity LeaveWednesday 14 May 2008
I would have been on maternity leave 7 months when I return to work. My employer paid me 6 weeks paid maternity leave. Their EBa doesnt state it but they verbally told me prior to my leave that I was eligible for paid maternity leave BECAUSE I HAVE WORKED A CONTINUOUS 12 MONTHS. If I resign within 6 months of returning to work, would I need to pay them back the paid maternity leave?

DismissedSaturday 10 May 2008
i was dismissed for i dont know they exact reason because on the termnation of employment certificate they put OTHERS. The only reason i know is im about to join the union and very vocal to them about my rights as well. Now im feeling stressed and having a hard time to move on everytime i think about it. I work hard for this company for more than 5 years. If someone can give me a legal free advice for im having a financial hardship and also i didn't get paid of my long service entitlements which i am entitled as far as the NSW Industrial Relation Commision. My company has a Pty. Ltd. attached to their Business name. Thank You very much.
