tmac450 Member 1,650 Member For: 18y 5m 5d Gender: Male Location: NSW Posted 23/10/06 08:49 AM Share Posted 23/10/06 08:49 AM In my experience, they would have to make her redundant to create the part time position.In any case, it they fire her they need to do it in writing stating the reason and giving at least two weeks or a pay period's notice or payout of the equivilent amount. For redundancy then the same sort of thing would have to be offered and until such time as written notice is given the enployer must continue to pay the wages etc. Also, long service can be claimed after 6 years if the employee needs to leave for family reasons (pregnancy included). If no written notice is given she may be better off to resign, still claim the two week's notice, plus unpaid holidays and the long service leave entitlement. It will be a bigger payout.The new laws aren't as bad as all of the publicity suggests and some employers are using the bad publicity to bluff employees into agreements they don't want. Basically, if you don't really agree with something being offered say you would like to considder the offer, you need it in writing and you would like to run it past your lawyer.As everyone else is saying, seek legal advice. In my experience the unions tend to worry more about blowing their own trumpet rather than looking after your interests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I do Ever stop and think the people who will be hardest affected by new I.R will also be those with the least leverage and power? Ie, the low income workers who can't afford a specialist lawyer everytime they get another "Sign Here or Get Lost" contract shoved under their noses?
