00:00 - 00:05 | So last week I am with this business owner |
00:05 - 00:07 | and he gets stuck into his apprentice |
00:07 - 00:10 | "come on hurry up you slack ass' |
00:11 - 00:16 | The apprentice turns around and says |
00:17 - 00:21 | "Hey! you can't say that. I can take you toFairwork |
00:21 - 00:24 | You should see the bosses face! |
00:26 - 00:28 | He goes red |
00:29 - 00:31 | like tomato |
00:31 - 00:34 | The apprentice just stands there |
00:38 - 00:40 | hands on his hips |
00:41 - 00:47 | I say to the owner "dont you have policies in place?" |
00:47 - 00:50 | Do you know what he says |
00:50 - 00:56 | I have a verbal agreement, my staff know what I expect |
00:58 - 00:59 | what an idiot |
00:59 - 01:01 | I couldn't believe it |
01:04 - 01:06 | He had nothing in place |
01:06 - 01:08 | it's true |
01:13 - 01:14 | I even see |
01:14 - 01:16 | small businesses |
01:16 - 01:20 | put their paperwork in place |
01:21 - 01:27 | then he tells me "I will be fine I have the association" |
01:35 - 01:36 | what a joke |
01:36 - 01:39 | can you imagine him pick up the phone |
01:41 - 01:44 | "Hi I need some help with an apprentice" |
01:44 - 01:47 | this is serious... I think can smell that he is |
01:47 - 01:49 | about to lodge a claim |
01:50 - 01:53 | Maybe you should have signed with us |
01:54 - 01:56 | you would be speaking to advice right now! |
01:56 - 01:58 | instead we are here |
01:58 - 02:02 | still waiting on the apprentice |
02:05 - 02:07 | Then the Employer tells me |
02:10 - 02:11 | that he doesn't |
02:11 - 02:13 | have any rights! |
02:15 - 02:17 | The employees hold all the cards. |
02:17 - 02:20 | Guess What he tells me? |
02:21 - 02:28 | He doesn't even have a contract in place |
02:29 - 02:30 | I cant believe it |
02:30 - 02:32 | then he tells me |
02:36 - 02:39 | he calls a solicitor for advice |
02:40 - 02:42 | and guess what |
02:50 - 02:55 | this solicitor doesn't work in employment law |
02:56 - 02:58 | and he still manages |
02:58 - 03:04 | to charge this guys $90 per 10 minutes |
