Got a job offer today, looked at the contract and saw that it was part-time offering minimum 10 hours a week. Probation 6 months. During my trial the boss said they’d be hiring me casual so i was a bit stumped and confused. They then sent an email saying I can choose between part-time and casual, they just thought i wanted a secure number of hours per week. I’m a 19 year old at university, so I need flexibility, that’s why I thought casual was better. The difference in wage is also quite large as casuals get $4 extra an hour ($22 compared to $18). My parents are trying to tell me that part-time is better because of the benefits you get. I’m really not sure what is best, because the pay difference is so huge. Casual I wouldn’t get guaranteed hours, but part time it’s only a minimum of 10. So for part time annual leave, would i only be given $180 a week for that leave? it’s all so confusing. I’m in Queensland Australia btw.
