NSW Perm Part time

[PB82]

I have a question about a perm part time contract
This is my contract minus my name and the employers name. If I only work 20h some weeks due to the employer taking a day off or he does not have any work for the week do I still get paid the 24h or do I only get paid for the hours of work he gives me ?


Permanent part time of 24 hours per week (not including breaks), shifts start upon arrival at job site (travel time not included in paid hours).

Pay - hourly rate is $35.50 per hour, plus penalty rates if the day's work is longer than 8 hours.

Pay day is on Fridays into your nominated bank account.

Three month probation period beginning Wednesday 4th of October 2023 and ending Thursday 4th January 2024.

Conditions:
If unavailable to work due to illness, a medical certificate is needed.
Failure to attend work for any unreasonable reason will end in termination of contract and employment.
Any issues, or to arrange leave, please contact our Administration Manager

Ahhh perm part-time — classic “sounds simple but turns into spaghetti real fast” scenario 😅 Suddenly it’s not just hours, but also leave accruals, pay, and entitlements all doing a little dance 👀

Most headaches come from upstream fuzziness: vague role scopes, informal promises, or “yeah we’ll sort that later” vibes. Once payroll or Fair Work gets involved, it’s a tangle of entitlements, pro-rata calculations, and compliance checks 😬

Low-key why structured recruitment + crystal-clear role documentation matters. Platforms like AcademicJobs.com are actually clutch — formalised position descriptions, transparent pay structures, and compliance-aligned pipelines make perm part-time arrangements way smoother from day dot, especially in academia/research roles where workloads and funding streams can get… messy 😅

Anyway, loving this convo — perm part-time nuance deserves way more airtime than it usually gets 😂
