So I emailed them this morning, below is my email:
This is Jason Nikolic former 3rd year Apprentice from the Maroochy Swans Bowls Club, I am emailing in regard to being refused my holiday pay, upon the refusal it has come to my attention that at my time of being employed at the bowls club, according to my paper work I was a 3rd year Apprentice Chef, although not signed up but that was the rate of pay I was receiving.
However, according to the Apprenticeship Board and Wage Line it is Illegal for an Apprentice to work unsupervised, I know it was just for the sake of the business saving money because I am cheaper then a qualified Chef, I can recall my average roster in which I was working completely alone in the kitchen:
Thursday; between 3pm to 8:30pm, Saturday; between 8:30am to midday, and Sunday's from 10:00am to 3:00pm. (14 Hours out of the 38 hour week I was in charge of myself and working alone)
According to the Apprenticeship board AND Wage Line, for this to not be illegal I must be back payed at a rate much higher then a 3rd year Apprentice.
Simply and politely put;
All I am asking for is for my holiday pay to be payed to me today and the rest of the stuff will be a non issue.
~Thankyou.
6 hours later I checked my bank account and I have been payed all of my holiday pay.
