Full transcript
Before we start your unfair dismissal claim, can you tell me exactly what happened when your employer let you go last week?
Ek het ses jaar by Bunnings se pakhuis in Dubbo gewerk, en verlede Donderdag het hulle my sommer net afgedank sonder enige waarskuwing.
You must lodge your unfair dismissal application with the Fair Work Commission within 21 days of your dismissal date. When exactly were you dismissed from your position?
Dit was Donderdag die vyfde Maart. Ek is bekommerd oor die koste, want ek het op die oomblik glad nie 'n inkomste nie.
There is a filing fee for lodging this application, but you can apply for a fee waiver if you're facing financial hardship. Are you currently receiving any income at all?
Nee, ek werk glad nie meer nie. Ek het net omtrent tweeduisend dollar in spaargeld oor. Tel dit as finansiële nood?
That would likely qualify as hardship. You'll need to submit a hardship form along with proof, such as recent bank statements, not payslips.
Watter presiese dokumente sal julle van my nodig hê om saam met daardie vorm in te dien?
You'll need a recent bank statement and, if applicable, a Centrelink letter, uploaded through the Commission's online portal, not emailed to us.
Ek verstaan. Sal iemand my kan help om die vorm korrek in te vul, aangesien Engels nie my eerste taal is nie?
Yes, the Fair Work Commission offers interpreter support through TIS National. You can call them directly to arrange assistance in Afrikaans before you submit your form.
Dankie, dit stel my baie gerus. Ek sal môre-oggend self TIS National bel om die hulp te reël voordat ek die vorm indien.
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.
- unfair dismissalSê 'onregverdige afdanking' of hou die term as 'unfair dismissal' indien die konteks Fair Work-verwant is.
- 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'.
- financial hardshipSê 'finansiële nood' of 'finansiële probleme'.
- centrelinkHou die naam 'Centrelink' onveranderd, soos in Engels.
- online portalVertaal as 'aanlyn-portaal' of sê net 'online portal' – beide word verstaan.
- tis nationalSê net 'TIS National' soos dit is, en verduidelik kortliks as nodig: 'die nasionale telefoon-tolkdiens'. Moet dit nie probeer vertaal na 'n Afrikaanse naam nie.
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.
