I get around $42000 a year on base pay, and if I achieve my KPI for that month I will get around $400 - $500 a month ($500 been the max I can get per months) in commission.
I work around 42 hours a week, this including 37.50 hours a week full time + around 4 - 4.5 hours a week not been paid due to the following:
Expected to coming to work 20mins early daily to fix the issues the day before
Late finish due to last min customers and till balancing (I sometimes finish 45 mins late on some days not getting paid)
Help the boss with a few last min tasks.
Basically I give around 50 mins a day extra time unpaid and it is expected but not appreciated by the management.
I also work for a large retailer doing online fulfilment, pay is pretty crap at around $26.90 an hour for casual rate flat, regardless if its weekdays or working Saturdays, yes we still only get $26.90 an hour working the full day Saturday (Sunday is good pay but they never put me on so forget about that) 《======= I finish this job in 2 days so no more of this crap as I was expected to pick 50 items on the entire floor in 1 hour. Which is impossible to do.
Reason I am asking is I am really thinking of going out and start looking for a new job in the new year, even a job which I can finish on time is good for me. (without putting in the extra unpaid hours and not been appreciated)
Very interested in how much is everyone else getting in the retail sectors? Please kindly share your hourly pay, any extra time you are paid, or not paid, and how much commission you take home monthly?
Thanks heaps
This is illegal. I'd ask them to pay for it or else turn up the second you start getting paid.
What other skills or interests do you have? I'd look for a new job.
