I've been working in retail for only a few months now as a casual worker, but over the past few weeks the amount of shifts I am rostered on for has increased hugely. Usually I wouldn't complain about the extra cash, but the shiftload has become life-consuming (shifts are nine hours long and I commute one and a half hours to and from my job). To make matters worse, the store I work in is tiny, messy and extremely busy. In fact the only thing keeping me at this job is that the store is an extremely prestigious one and that my working there makes me cool. :)
I think one of the main reasons I am getting so many shifts is that I am good at my job and I'm quite young and as such my pay is lower.
Anyway, from tommorow onwards, I am working for eight days straight. I'm now working more than most of the permanent staff whom I work with, and for less money.
My question is; is it legal for someone of my working status to be rostered on as much as I am?
I really don't want to quit - I need money.
