Full transcript
Mr. Otieno, thank you for coming in today. I need to let you know your position at Bunnings Dandenong is being made redundant, effective this Friday.
Kwani nimefanya kosa gani? Sikutarajia hili kabisa, hasa baada ya kufanya kazi hapa kwa miaka mitatu.
This is due to a company-wide restructuring, not your performance. Bunnings is reducing several roles across Victoria this quarter, and unfortunately your role was one of them.
Sawa, lakini nitapata malipo gani kabla ya kuondoka? Je, likizo yangu ambayo sijachukua italipwa?
You'll receive four weeks' notice pay, plus payment for any accrued annual leave you haven't used. Your final payslip will show the full breakdown before Friday.
Hii inaonekana si haki kwangu. Je, ninaweza kupinga uamuzi huu mahali fulani?
If you believe the dismissal was unfair, you can lodge a claim with the Fair Work Commission, but you must do so within twenty-one days of today.
Asante kwa maelezo hayo. Je, unaweza kunipa barua ya utambulisho itakayonisaidia kutafuta kazi nyingine?
Yes, I'll prepare a written reference outlining your role and performance. Your redundancy pay will be calculated based on your length of service, roughly three years.
Naelewa. Je, mchango wangu wa uzeeni umelipwa vizuri hadi sasa?
Your superannuation contributions are fully up to date; there are no outstanding payments owed. You'll receive your certificate of service by post next week.
Asante sana kwa maelezo yote. Nitawasiliana na Tume ya Fair Work kama itahitajika.
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.
- payslipSema 'risiti ya mshahara' au 'stakabadhi ya malipo ya mshahara'.
- fair workSema 'Fair Work' kama jina la taasisi, ukieleza inahusika na migogoro na haki za wafanyakazi.
- fair work commissionSema jina kwa Kiingereza 'Fair Work Commission' kwani ni jina rasmi la taasisi, hakuna tafsiri rasmi ya Kiswahili.
- superannuationSema 'superannuation' kama ilivyo kwa Kiingereza, au eleza kama 'akiba ya uzeeni/mafao ya kustaafu'.
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.
