$8 an hour for receptionist work?? You should at least be getting somewhere between $12 to $15? otherwise you may as well view it as work experience. It's weird too as you say you're working 33 hours a week as a casual so you should be entitled to a higher rate because you're not getting the benefits (leave loading, etc, etc) a part-timer would naturally be entitled to.sal17 said:Hi I'm 17 (18 in a month) and working as a casual receptionist (33hrs a wk)
and I'm getting paid $7.95/hr is this underpaid????
(if yes, how much should i be getting & and what should i do??)
I'm Currently working at Maccas & I'm only getting $7.14. I must be working at the wrong Maccassupercalamari said:I don't know about receptionist pay but if I was 17 I wouldn't work for that an hour, 16 year olds can get $9.80 at Maccas so it doesn't sound great...
Casuals get $9.80 p/h if they've worked for at least 15 weeks (NSW)JamesCohen said:I'm Currently working at Maccas & I'm only getting $7.14. I must be working at the wrong Maccas
for about 1 month..what's probation period?CieL said:How long have you been working there?
Perhaps it's probation period.
I got offered that much award wage as a receptionist at 17 for a law firm.
And I thought, no thankyou.
yeah thats what i get when i work as a receptionist for my mummadsam said:im 17, working at woolworths and i get $12.40 for casual rates, while the part-time rate is about $10.20 or thereabouts
While i assume i work more than a receptionist, i reckon you should get getting $10 minimum for casual, otherwise its not really worth it...
My friends, who do that work for their parents get like $18 or so an hour, but like i said, that's working for their parents...
I think you should at least apply for another job somewhere else, and see how that goes, and if it looks better than your current job, tell your employer you'd like a raise else your leaving. That way you either get a raise, or you move to a better job =]
Geez, that sucks. I got paid the level two (after 15 weeks of employment) wage as soon as I started.JamesCohen said:I'm Currently working at Maccas & I'm only getting $7.14. I must be working at the wrong Maccas
