Hi all, I dont normally do this but an oxygen thief has forced my hand. My girl friend just lost her job cause she wont work australia day even though she gave 3 weeks notice of being unavailable for that day only. Does anyone know of any full time call centre or "alternative" retail (shes a goth) jobs going?

im looking through the details now. The biggest issue is she was casual. There is a lot of sms's and some other evidence showing bullying, But i cant start the process.

call Angeliek Peters who is a "fair work inspector" for the fair work ombudsman. you girlfriend would defiantly have a case for unfair dismissal. Alot of companies think they can get away with this kind of thing because no one ever takes any action, dont want to rock the boat etc etc..... which is stupid because its within your rights.

She can go to fairwork, Wrongfull Dismissal can only be claimed as long as she has been employed for greater than 6 months, however as she is a casual employee the line always will be she has not been sacked but due to the nature of her employment we have no shifts available.

Any casual employee can terminate or be terminated on 1 hours notice, however if she can prove that long term she has had a regular ongoing roster and the company has made he role more full time in aspect then the FWO may decide that in fact she was engaged in a way that should constitute Full time or Part time if this is deemed then she is entitled to payment in lieu of notice, any holiday pay that normally would be accrued and if she has been their longer than 6 months possibly a component of wages for a set period.

I deal with these issues on a regular basis for employers and employees. Good luck in finding a new role.
