Full transcript
Tell me exactly what happened after you told your manager you were pregnant, step by step.
Ek het my bestuurder vertel ek is twaalf weke swanger, en die volgende dag het hy gesê die bevordering gaan nie meer na my toe kom nie.
This isn't just an Ombudsman matter — a withdrawn promotion like this is usually handled as a general protections dispute through the Fair Work Commission.
Is daar 'n tydsbeperking om iets hieroor te doen, want ek is bang ek het al te lank gewag?
If you'd been dismissed, there's a strict 21-day limit to lodge with the Commission — since you weren't dismissed, you still need to act quickly, though the limit differs.
Wat moet ek nou doen? My spervisor se naam is Riaan Nel, en hy het dit in 'n vergadering met twee ander kollegas gesê.
You can lodge a discrimination complaint with the Fair Work Ombudsman for investigation, or apply directly to the Commission for a conciliation conference.
Watter soort bewyse sal genoeg wees? Ek het nie 'n skriftelike belofte nie, net 'n WhatsApp-boodskap waarin hy die bevordering bevestig het.
Gather every text, email or rostering document that mentions the promotion, plus contact details for anyone who overheard the conversation with your manager directly.
Ek sal al my boodskappe en die name van my kollegas bymekaarmaak voor Donderdag.
Bring all of that to our Ballarat office this Thursday at ten o'clock, and we'll help you decide which pathway suits your case.
Dankie, ek sal alles bring en betyds daar wees.
Terms in this dialogue that cost marks
CCL is marked on information transferred. These Australian terms have no direct word in most test languages — get one wrong and the segment's information is gone.
- ombudsmanSê die woord 'ombudsman' soos dit is, want Afrikaans gebruik dieselfde term; jy kan byvoeg 'onafhanklike klagte-liggaam' om dit te verduidelik.
- fair workSê 'Fair Work' soos dit is, aangesien dit 'n amptelike instansienaam is.
- fair work commissionSê die Engelse naam 'Fair Work Commission' soos dit is, en verduidelik indien nodig kortliks 'die federale liggaam wat arbeidsdispute hanteer'.
Practise it
Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The free daily dialogue on this site plays each segment at native speed, records you, and marks the information you transferred against the same categories examiners use — omissions, distortions, insertions — so you know where the marks went.
