Full transcript
Thanks for coming in, Yumi. Could you walk me through what happened when you returned from parental leave at the Chatswood store?
はい…昨年、育児休業から復帰した際、マネージャーから『あなたの元のポジションはもう空いていない』と言われました。その後、パートタイムの低い役職に異動させられ、勤務時間も週二十時間に減らされてしまいました。
That's concerning. Have you kept any emails or messages about this change, and how long had you worked there before your leave?
育休に入る前は、三年間フルタイムで同じ店舗で働いていました。メールも数通残っていて、マネージャーが『あなたの代わりの人をもう雇いました』と書いていたんです。
We can lodge a complaint with the Fair Work Ombudsman. They'll contact your employer for a response, though there's no fixed timeframe — it depends on the case's complexity.
そうなんですね…費用はどのくらいかかるんでしょうか？それに、どのくらい時間がかかるのかも心配です。
The initial assessment and general advice from the Ombudsman's office is free. If your case needs formal legal representation later, that could involve separate costs.
分かりました。もし苦情が認められたら、元のポジションに戻ることはできるんでしょうか？
If mediation doesn't resolve things, the Ombudsman can issue a compliance notice, or you could pursue the matter through the Fair Work Commission.
もし今、正式に苦情を申し立てたら、会社から報復されるのではないかと不安なんですが…大丈夫でしょうか？
You're protected from retaliation once you raise this formally, and I can help you complete the complaint form today.
分かりました、安心しました。今日、苦情の申立書を出す手続きを進めたいと思います。ありがとうございます。
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.
- fair work固有名詞として「Fair Work」とそのまま言う。必要なら『労働に関する政府機関Fair Work』と補足する。
- ombudsman「オンブズマン」とそのまま音訳して使うのが一般的です。必要なら「苦情を調査する独立機関」と補足してもよいです。
- fair work commission「Fair Work Commission」と英語のまま言うのが基本。必要なら「連邦の労使関係を扱う機関」と補足する。
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.
