Full transcript
Thanks so much for calling the Fair Work Ombudsman today, Ms Kang. Can you tell me exactly what happened when you returned to work at Chatswood Chase last month?
안녕하세요, 저는 육아휴직을 마치고 지난달에 채츠우드 체이스 매장으로 복귀했는데요, 근무 시간이 38시간에서 15시간으로 줄었고 매니저에서 판매직으로 강등됐어요.
Did your employer explain in writing why your hours were suddenly reduced, or give any formal notice before this change happened?
아니요, 서면 통지는 전혀 없었어요. 매니저는 그냥 '구조조정 때문'이라고만 말했고, 육아휴직을 가지 않았던 동료가 제 자리를 대신 맡게 됐어요.
That sounds like it could be discrimination under the Fair Work Act. Did anyone else who returned from parental leave keep their previous position?
네, 저 말고도 두 명이 육아휴직 후 복귀했는데, 그 두 사람은 원래 직급을 그대로 유지했어요. 저만 유일하게 강등됐어요.
Can you upload your employment contract and any restructure emails to our online portal by this Friday afternoon?
네, 근로계약서랑 이메일은 금요일 전까지 올릴게요. 그런데 조사가 얼마나 걸릴지 걱정되고, 혹시 제가 더 불이익을 당하지 않을까 걱정돼요.
You're legally protected from further workplace disadvantage while this complaint remains active. If your employer retaliates in any way, please contact us again immediately.
혹시 그동안 줄어든 근무 시간에 대해서도 보상을 받을 수 있을까요? 지난 한 달 동안 손해가 꽤 컸거든요.
We'll assess carefully whether you're entitled to back pay for those reduced hours, but that outcome depends entirely on the investigation's findings.
알겠습니다, 오늘 중으로 서류 다 올려드릴게요. 도와주셔서 정말 감사합니다.
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'Fair Work'라는 고유명사를 그대로 사용한다.
- ombudsman영어 발음 그대로 '옴부즈맨'이라고 말하면 됩니다. 필요시 '분쟁조정기구' 정도로 짧게 풀어줄 수 있습니다.
- online portal'온라인 포털' 또는 '온라인 시스템'이라고 번역해서 말한다.
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.
