Workers not Wingin'it
One-of-a-kind!

There’s no need to wing it!

Feel like you need to work just to earn money, so you have the motive but lack the inspiration? Are you new to the workforce, have no idea of what is expected and just hoping that you are directed to what to do? Or if you’re already working, do you just hope that your boss is honouring all his employer responsibilities, paying at least the minimum wage and doing the right thing by you? How would you know if you don’t know what your entitlements are?

All too often employees just accept what is paid to them; take their break when told to; accept roster changes with no notice, etc. The main reason for not speaking up is for not having the knowledge to back up your discussion. Having the knowledge of your rights builds the confidence needed to either address the situation with your employer, or to make an informed choice about your options. In some cases too, it is not the intention of the employer to rip off his employees, but simply a lack of resources (be it time, education, technology, money) to implement these requirements. As an employee having an understanding of their employers’ obligations too, your contribution will not only be more valuable to the business, but can help to correct any workplace obligations that are not being met.

Well wing it no more, fellow Aussies! This all-in-one exclusive guide puts everything work-place related into one place.
