Full transcript
Mr Farah, I need to let you know that your position at the Bunbury distribution warehouse has been terminated, effective from today's shift.
Waa maxay sababta? Ma jirin wax digniin ah oo hore lay siiyay oo ku saabsan shaqadayda.
The company is restructuring its logistics operations, and your role has been made redundant. This decision is not related to your work performance.
Haddaba ma heli doonaa lacagta fasaxa aan qaatay iyo mushaharkayga ugu dambeeyay?
Since the warehouse currently employs fewer than fifteen staff, you're not entitled to redundancy pay, only your notice period and unused annual leave.
Tani waxay ila tahay mid aan caddaalad ahayn. Ma jirtaa wax aan sameyn karo si aan uga soo horjeesto go'aankan?
If you believe this dismissal was unfair, you can lodge a claim with the Fair Work Commission, but only within twenty-one days of today.
Sidee baan u sameeyaa? Ma waajib baa in aan haysto dukumeenti gaar ah?
You lodge the application online through the Commission's website, pay a small filing fee, and they'll arrange a conciliation conference to try resolving it.
Intii aan sugayay natiijada, ma jiraa caawimaad la xiriirta helitaanka shaqo cusub?
The Fair Work Ombudsman can give you free advice on this, and you can also register through your myGov account for job-seeking support.
Waad ku mahadsantahay macluumaadkan. Waxaan la xiriiri doonaa xafiiska Fair Work Ombudsman si aan u helo talo dheeraad ah.
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 WorkKu dhawaaq 'Fair Work' si toos ah, sida Fair Work Ombudsman ama Fair Work Commission.
- Fair Work CommissionKu sheeg magaceeda Ingiriisi oo saxan 'Fair Work Commission', maadaama ay tahay hay'ad gaar ah oo aan lahayn tarjumaad rasmi oo Soomaali ah.
- OmbudsmanKu sheeg erayga Ingiriisiga 'ombudsman' isla markaana si kooban ugu sharax 'qofka madax-bannaan ee xalliya cabashooyinka' haddii aad u baahan tahay caddayn dheeraad ah.
- myGovSii isticmaal magaca 'myGov' isaga oo aan la beddelin, maadaama uu yahay magac rasmi/product name aan lahayn tarjumaad.
