Not the actual place I work, but the casual agency I get paid through

now I'm wondering how much your work place pays the agency.

you might be getting only 50-75% of your pay

eventually see if you can be directly paid by your work place, your pay might increase

and I am unamused, the delay is unacceptable, imagine if an employee had children to feed or life saving meds like insulin to buy that day

    An agency wanted us to pay above award for a casual (absolutely no problem with that) with an extra $15+ an hour on for the agency and if we chose to keep them we have to pay them a finder's fee. I get you've gotta run the agency, but that's a steep bill for a small business!

    Yeah I have a 6 month probation before the workplace will considering hiring me themselves. So I just gotta prove myself :) we'll see if they don't burn me though lol

    Totally get your point about kids and meds; I'm in a position of privilege as I don't have to worry about that today. It would be shitty af if I did have to consider that though for sure.

    It's a good rate, over $30 per hour so I'm not complaining :)
