I work as trainer and assessor for cert 3 individual support. this is my first role as trainer when I accepted this role. I accepted this role without knowing what awards my job actually under. But after 3 months, now I realised there is new awards for my role when I read that, I actually get paid 5 dollar less then the current awards (awards says $60.18 as casual level 2). Im aware that im new, this makes me hesitant to ask for this to my employer. Im looking any advice, please. thankyou.

Christmas bonuses - what are you getting? Do you get one? we get 10% at the start of every calendar year. But my tech bro friend gets 25% at the end of financial year. What’s the norm? I’m keen to hear from different industries so I know if I’m getting a good deal.

Looking for a new job and shocked at how low salaries are compared to the job criteria and experience. For someone with 8 years experience (academic coordinator) roles are max. 85k! Considering the COL situation in Oz, how are people living on these wages?

How can I ask my employer about a pay rise? I have been in my job for 1.5 years and I didn’t feel confident enough at my annual review to bring it up (I know i need to be more assertive, I'm working on it!). I did get a cost-of-living % increase, but I want to shoot for at least another 10%. Should I wait until my six-month review or just bring it up now? Does anyone have experience successfully asking for a raise?

Im a store Manager, and getting close to $27 an hour. It's a 40 hour week but I do way more because it needs to be done. Ive looked, but still unsure. Is this the correct hourly rate for a store manager. Im in my late 50s

Question for FT peeps. How much overtime do you do? I find myself at work until 7ish or slightly later the 3 days I'm in the office. I don't seem to have any overtime or time in lieu stuff in my contract. Is it required by law? I don't want to be working late all the time but I also don't want to lose my job. Is it normal to have to work late this much? I'm in marketing for a tech co.
