I've a question on payouts and how they are structured.
If you were an hourly paid employee in the mechanicial trades how is it calculated? I don't want anyone to reveal their dollar amount if you don't want to but I've heard many different methods in offering a payout figure. I've heard at my company - 4 wks pay, plus 3 wks pay per years of service, plus all unused annual and long service leave. Thats for the monthly salary paid workforce - apparently not offered for the hourly paid employees. |

Full time employee (15yrs +) , pay is calculated by the hour and gets paid overtime and penalties etc...., as opposed to salary paid staff that work for a fixed amount per month, regardless of extra hrs worked per day / week.

I work for a company that builds Recreational Vehicles (Motorhomes and Campers) and we're actually busier than this time last year. I'm clocking up heaps of overtime at the moment. We were a bit worried about our jobs when the GFC hit last year orders started slowing down, but this year things have picked up again.

Got the news this morning, on the spot redundancy - transport company needs to cut back 20% of jobs.
Had a senior position running IT for them, and thought it a bit strange I couldn't log in today ![]() I've been in IT for 10+ years and its new for me to be out of work - maybe time for a career change. Anyone looking for employee's... as the Goodies motto goes: Anything, Anywhere, Anytime |

PM me mate, I manage an IT Recruitment Company on St Kilda Rd, I might be able to help. Back on topic...all staff in our business will have our TPV's reduced by 10% from 1st April. Certainly a better option than more slash and burn which has been the norm over the past 6 months or so! 90% of some is better than 100% of nothing!

Sorry to hear that Tribal.
Ozzy, TPV? Total Package ?? So you are giving your team a reduction on their OTE, is that right? I can relate to that, I have my bonuses frozen at the moment... |

Im currently at 180% of my KPI - as well as the rest of my team. but still - no bonus. We were told we wouldnt get them a couple of weeks ago - the CEO put a 2 sentence note about the fact that no one other then the sales team would get bonus's at the end of the fiscal year in the middle of his monthly notice.
Me thinks the cash has been put to good use somewhere.. Oh yeah - the CEO just put in notice to resign.. hmmm...

Well I have one more week at work but have been transferred to a gold mine in WA so busy getting everything ready for the move. On the plus side metal prices are slowly climbing again.

What an amazing turnaround. Only 8-10 months ago you couldn't get staff and if you didn't have a job you were a bludger, then BANG !!! 3 words, Global Financial crisis, since then it has just died in the ****...........

The big nasty is yet to come. The 40 gazillion days interest free plasma/game consoles/PC/whatever and Visa/MC/Amex will have to be paid eventually and if there is no income then there will be a lot of stress and possible bankruptcy. Credit has been too easy in the last 10 years and now it is going to bit. Unfortunately the banks and credit companies will not be the losers here. |

Glad your dad found a new job straight away. I think we may have left the building at about the same time (different States). Is your dad's surname Dawson? |

I was given a permenant holiday in Feb this year, I have been in the training industry for 10years for general and civil construction so I have started my own training company to see if I can't help others who have fallen into the same predicament.
QLD based Traffic control, blue cards that sort of thing to start with, so this could be the best thing that happened to me. |
