Good afternoon.
I work as a heavy machinery operator on coal seam gas for the last 5 years. I work a 2-week on 1-week off roster doing 12 hour days. For the last 5 years, I have been employed as a casual with no personal or holiday leave.
Also the company I was employed by was issued 10 hours per day wet day stand down from the company we sub contracted to. However, as employees we were only given 6 hours & my employer kept the other 4 hours on every wet day.
Please help if these practices are legal under employment law & if I should pursue the matter further.
Regards
