jw1739 Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 TTDIM: The former British Army officer, now living in Newcastle NSW, who had 100 women present for his 100th birthday party, fulfilling a wish he made back at the start of the Second World War in 1939. Great story amongst all the doom and gloom of the modern world. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 obviously none of you cunts have ever worked hungover af on a Sunday granted, I only get an extra $6/h on Sundays as a casual so I personally don't really care, but for people who do shift work as a full time profession (e.g nurses, carers) it's a pretty shit thing.

They are still getting paid extra, but not as much as before. So there is an incentive, and if there wasnt then employees would pay extra above what they have to to get people to work those days anyway. 17 minutes ago, jw1739 said: Many nurses will only work weekends. They get paid so handsomely for those two days that it's not worth them working Monday-Friday. And that's exactly the issues, penalty rates are set so high that in many jobs employees are tripping over themselves to get a shift with penalty rates, which shows they are too high. My experience is that most people will do anything for a few more dollars and you'd have people happy to work sundays etc for a relatively small penalty rate in comparison to what legislation requires currently. So all it achieves is hurting small business. At the end of the day I'm pretty sure the economy is in a recession currently (cant be confirmed until next GDP figures, but I think there is a good chance we are), so it's good timing for something that will cut costs for small business and lead to increased trading hours. The last time there was a recession in Australia was when I was born, it's something that a large proportion of our society hasnt experienced in their working lives, it could be a matter of time before people are happy they have a job at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily the experience in my profession is the opposite. 2013-2016, whilst the public servants have had their hand outs for pay rises we have had none (in fact a cut if you include the increase in super contribution) and seen a raft of retrenchments. Now that's all changed and there are lots of opportunities. I expect in Vic the building boom will flow through to the rest of the economy over the next day 18 months. this of course assumes that the world doesn't have a protectionist induced recession.

Well that's the thing, the corner could already have been turned but because data is delayed we don't really know. Fwiw I highly doubt they'll be any major protectionist moves made. Also worth noting a recession isn't bad for everyone. If you have money in the bank or a stable job you're not going to lose, it presents great opportunities.

bt50 Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 FWIW : Who will be hardest hit by changes to Sunday penalty rates? Retail workers will take the biggest hit, while casual workers in hospitality will keep their existing penalty rates. Retail workers (full-time and part-time) will see their Sunday penalty rates cut from 200 per cent (double time) to 150 per cent (time and a half). The rates for casuals will fall from 200 per cent to 175 per cent. Fast food outlets will cut Sunday penalty rates cut from 150 per cent to 125 per cent for full-time and part-time workers. Hospitality workers will see their Sunday penalty rates reduced from 175 per cent to 150 per cent, but there will be no change in rates for casuals. Sunday penalty rates for workers in restaurants and licensed clubs will not change. Workers in pharmacies will see their Sunday penalty rates cut between the hours of 7am to 9pm from 200 per cent to 150 per cent. Rates for casual employees will fall from 200 per cent to 175 per cent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also its very well for someone like you qualified in economics to tell PPL about greater benefits to these changes to Penalty Rates (clearly they have a lot of sound reasoning behind them)... However at the same time its bloody understandable for the person whose pays is going to go down to be upset and feel like they are being talked down to in a Hewson like manner.

Jimmy Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 TTDIM: A couple days ago I was at a welcome to the Bachelor of Arts session at La Trobe for work. They had a big screen on stage where the audience could text in their questions and then they would instantly appear on the screen for the academics to answer at their discretion. The head of the gender studies department got up to speak and the screen was thoroughly raped with 10/10 trolling. Shit like "There are only two genders", "Is feminism a religion?", "You can't stump the Trump", "Praise Kek", "Who let you out of the kitchen?" etc. Was brilliant. She ended up ranting for five minutes before being cut off by the MC to keep things moving, which prompted her to then rant about women not being allowed to speak by men. Bonus TTDIM: being called a "scourge on society" for supporting the decision to reduce penalty rates. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, I don't know why you think I'm out of touch with reality, maybe I am a bit but I do understand these things. However, I've always been a 'big picture' person and don't apologise for that. Fwiw, the people affected are lucky they live in Australia where even after this they still have good penalty rates and a high minimum wage and a tax system where they pay a low level of tax as a low income earner and have great universal health care etc. Of course I don't expect them to appreciate it when their pay is going down, but truth is they're still better off as a low skilled worker than they would be in 95% of other countries. It's also worth mentioning that the way the penalty cuts have been done incentivises employers to move people to permanent positions rather than casual which is a good thing for employees.
