The other day I had to push hard for my employer to pay me the proper weekend award wage set out by the ombudsman. He was underpaying me by going by the hours worked rather than the 4 hr min for a call in. He got pretty emotional, explained that he wouldn't have taken on the weekend work had he had to pay me this much 🤣 as if to say having to pay someone else to make the company money was a hindrance. Odd choice of words I thought. I explained he should just go by the award rate so there is no confusion or problems down the road for him just as much as me. All he could think of was $$$ he was now losing. After much back and forth, an hilarious moment came when we went to look at my payslip to compare what I'd incorrectly been paid the week before… Turns out the accountant (who was present) had infact paid me TRIPLE the normal rate (instead of double) and for 3 hours, which was even MORE money than what I was arguing for in the award rate. Needless to say the embarrassment on their behalf closed the argument in my favour!
