Min Wage for 18yr old? (1 Viewer)

[Prepare]

Anyone know what min wage for full time 18 yr old is?.

doing general office duties. Was at interview today and lady told me $7 an hour and i almost fell out of my chair. Most office junior jobs ive looked at are around 20,000 PA mark, this one was 13k

omgosh thats pretty bad...i have no idea wat the minimum wage is but i'd fall outta my chair 2! office juniors deserve heaps more than 7 an hr...
i once applied 4 an office junior position n i thought 18K was bad!
dude u shud apply sumwhere else

go to www.airc.gov.au
thats the site that tells you everything about wages, what youre entitled to, etc. but for 7 bucks an hour I think youre being ripped off really bad.

Fuck that. seven bucks is not worth getting out of bed for. tell them to stick the job.

i have not been to the website but from memory (and this is often faulty), the min wage for an 18+ year old is meant to be something like eleven dollars ... obviously if your a trainee then its a different story ... but seven dollars is seriously chicken's feed ...

the minimum wage is under 10$/h

thats a casual rate tho, and it works out to be around the $13 mark when you include loading.

is the 13K after or before tax?

I feel like im getting stinged...I'm getting $12.37 and I'm a shift manager at nando's chicken (like Oporto's)

 

[pinkbella]

I'm 17 and on $9.65
It could be worse...
At least it ain't macca's

Its 13k before tax.

im working there now and will see how it goes, I have nothing better to do so its better then sitting at home )

When I asked why it was so low all i was told was it was above the min wage for clerical duties.....but ive never seen a office junior job going for less then 18,000.
