My hours has been cut to 42.50 hours per forth night from 60-68 hours per forth night. My minimum contract of hours is 30.7 hours since 2012...and I've been doing 60-68 hours or sometimes even more ever since I worked there. I work in Aged care as a carer for 5 years where I worked and never been so low hours like now. I am going to face financial hardship because of this.
I have contacted my Australian Nursing Federation and the only advice they gave me is request for my contract of hours to be reviewed which I did and our head office said I have to wait until Enterprise Bargaining Agreement is finished and settled so I am waiting for that. I put my name available on the days I am available so they can call me if there's any available shift but they didn't rang they got an agency instead.
I am in a lot of stress ever since and especially now plus I am pregnant, with regards to my pregnancy I have no restrictions to work I am okay to work as said by my GP. my brain is everywhere now and can not think straight. What can I do? I need help desperately, plus I contacted our head office HR coordinator and told her everything and she went to see me and my manager said to my manager to look up my hours. But now when I saw the new roster it's still the same 42.50 hours. I forced my self to cash out some of my annual leave hours to make up my lost hours and still pick up shift to raise up my hours but nothing. I hope somebody out there can help me or give me advice.
