Hi there,
Fairwork Australia can’t help in this matter because when I joined my work. They emailed me a contract. I signed it and took it to work for them to sign. The manager was not there, so I left with one of the colleagues for the manager to sign. I was casual initially hired for 2 days/ week.
The following week I asked him for my employment contract. He said he forgot to bring it. I chased for a copy of my contract for a few times, but I never got it.
After 3 months, I needed the contract to apply for a bank loan. I asked for it. He again said he would bring it the next day. The next day the owner (manager’s mom) says it is lost. She comes in with another contract saying everything is the same except for the terms of termination. The new terms was I was to give them a week’s notice before quitting, previously it was no notice.
I protested because it was not a new contract and the terms should be the same. So either it was that contract or I had to wait at least another day for to get new contract.
I recently quit the job and though my intention was to give a week’s notice period. Stupid me wrote the wrong date.
