Full transcript
Good afternoon, Ms. Han. Thank you for coming in today. Could you please tell me exactly what happened during your trial shift at the café in Chatswood?
네, 지난주 수요일에 채스우드에 있는 카페에서 네 시간 동안 트라이얼 근무를 했는데, 사장님이 그 시간에 대한 돈을 전혀 주지 않았어요. 그냥 경험 삼아 해보라고만 했어요.
Did the manager say this four-hour trial was standard company practice, or did they promise you payment once you finished?
사장님은 트라이얼은 원래 무급이 맞다고 했고, 저도 그날 아무 서류에 서명하지 않았어요. 다음 주부터 정식으로 채용한다고만 말했어요.
Under Fair Work Ombudsman guidelines, an unpaid work trial generally shouldn't exceed one hour if you're only observing basic tasks, not actually working.
정말요? 저는 그게 당연히 정상적인 거라고 생각했어요. 그럼 지금이라도 그 네 시간에 대한 돈을 받을 수 있는 방법이 있나요?
Yes, you have options. First, send the employer a written request for payment covering the four hours worked. If they refuse, you can lodge a complaint with Fair Work.
만약 제가 돈을 요구하면, 다음 주부터 일하기로 한 정식 채용이 취소될까 봐 걱정돼요.
That's understandable, but employers can't legally withdraw a confirmed job offer simply because you requested unpaid wages that you're legally entitled to receive.
다행이네요. 혹시 이 일이 잘 안 되면, 콜스 같은 다른 곳에 지원하는 것도 도와주실 수 있나요?
Absolutely, I can help with that too. I'll register you for casual positions at Coles and Woolworths, and follow up with the café by Monday.
감사합니다. 그럼 이번 주 안에 다시 연락드릴게요.
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.
Practise it
