i work in fast food part time. in my country (australia) you are required to be paid for training. i was not paid for the 2 training shifts i did back in june. i don't have any records of having done these shifts, as i got a new phone and new phone number so none of the texts confirming my shifts are available to me. i estimate the two shifts were worth around ~80-100 AUD
they don't pay for cafe training, which i do have a record of as it was stated in the company group chat. i checked the company policy and even the company states that you have to be paid for training, so it seems this is just a thing this store/franchisee is doing. i don't hate the restaurant manager here, and i don't really want her to get in trouble – which is the biggest reason not to do anything, and i feel like that's what everyone else is thinking too.
i'm a high schooler. i don't have the money nor time to do anything about this, and the same goes for almost all of my coworkers.
go for it or nah?
