Answer 1

Shame on you for signing a contract and not keeping a copy of it!

Answer 2

If you are only a casual employee you are not entitled to payed holidays at most places. Depending on the place. At some places you must be full time to get payed holidays but at other places part time employees are also entitled to this benefit. Try to find the policy and procedure book I'm sure your job has, then you can look up so you will know for sure.

Answer 3

IF you are a permanent employer then you should check with human resource the regulations of the company. Every big company I have worked with after 3 month offer all the benefits, including pd sick days, float holiday, and reg holiday. You have to look for ur pay stub and make sure all this information is not there, if you feel they are not providing you all the rights make sure you contact someone for legal advice.

Answer 4

Usually companies pay 4% of total earnings.
The 4% represents 2 weeks but seeing that you are casual, it would reflect a dollar value.
(EX: If you made $1000 they would have to pay you $40)

Answer 5

Part-time employees have the same statutory employment rights as other employees. You do not have to work a minimum number of hours to qualify for employment rights.

Look at the government website.

Answer 6

Casual workers usually don't get paid holidays, you must locate your copy of your contract to see what you have agreed to

Answer 7

i would get legal advise about this a good place to go for advice would be your local job centre or the c a b.
