Full transcript
You've called the Fair Work Commission, Mr Bellini. Before we start, could you tell me exactly what happened when you lost your job last week?
Buongiorno. Lavoravo alla ditta di logistica a Dandenong da quasi tre anni, e martedì scorso mi hanno licenziato senza nessun preavviso.
Did your employer give you any warning, or explain the reason for the dismissal beforehand, either verbally or in writing?
No, nessun avviso, né verbale né scritto. Mi hanno solo detto che il mio ruolo non serviva più, senza spiegare perché proprio io.
You have only 21 days from the dismissal date to lodge an unfair dismissal application with the Commission, so we must act quickly.
Ventuno giorni? Non lo sapevo. È già passata una settimana, quindi non mi resta molto tempo, vero?
Correct, that's less time than most people think. Can you confirm the exact dismissal date and your employer's full company name for the file?
È stato martedì tredici maggio. L'azienda si chiama Logistica Meridionale Pty Ltd, ma non hanno voluto darmi una lettera scritta.
Without a written letter, we'll rely on witness statements and your payslips instead. I'll guide you through the conciliation process step by step now.
Va bene. Ho tutte le buste paga degli ultimi tre anni, comprese quelle degli ultimi due mesi. Come le carico sul portale?
Upload them through the Commission's online portal, not through myGov or Centrelink, since this unfair dismissal claim is completely separate from any Centrelink payment.
Capito, userò il portale della Commissione direttamente, non myGov. Grazie mille per la spiegazione, mi sento più tranquillo adesso.

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.
