Hi please help if you can!

I think my friend is getting ripped off at work!!

She's 23 years old

In Brisbane

Works part time at a 'well known' 24 hours convenience store for 8 months.

Her shift lasts from 3pm to 10 pm (7 hours) and on a roster.

However her pay slip always says that she have worked 3.4 hours (instead of 7 hours) @ $18.50 per hour.

So her last cheque was

3.4 x $18.50 = $62.90 dollars,

She worked for 7 hours so

$62.50/7 hours= $8.98/hour....

Her payslip also says AES Superannuation : $5.66

I helped her look at this website that says over 20 years old the minimum wage in Qld is $12.59 per hour:

http://www.wageline.qld.gov.au/awardsonline/qmw.html

Yet she is only getting $8.98 / hour

Whats really suss was that she have worked for 7 hours but her pay slip always says less then that (usually only 3.4 hours)

Same for other friends that work at that 24 hour place. Can anything be done?

Thanks in advance!
