Underpayed, contact fair work?
Hey Guys!
I currently work as a construction labourer and I recently found out that it is a labour law to get more pay for overtime, Saturdays and public holidays. In addition, I would have to get the minimum wage of about $33/h, but right now I only get $29.75/h. I've calculated that and come up with a difference of $3500 in the last 2 months. Since I work casually, I'm afraid that my boss will fire me as soon as I contact fair work. However, I like the job and my plan is to work there for another 2 months. Does it make sense to go through with this and contact fair work at the end?
