Help with post-traineeship wage levels
Posted: Mon Jul 21, 2014 9:03 pm
I'm due to finish my Cert III traineeship in the next month or two. It's a full-time traineeship. At the moment I'm paid as Trainee, Year 12 Leaver, Plus One Year ($11.57 as of July 1, which they aren't paying me, but that's another story...)
When I complete my traineeship, do I become Level 3.1 (Cert 3 on commencement) or Level 3.2 (Cert 3 plus one year)? The guidelines I can find for wage levels say that Level 3.2 is "one year on the job/experience" and as a full time trainee I've completed a full year as an assistant... I'm not sure though if this counts in my experience.
For example, a person who goes to TAFE full time to do their Cert III would then start work as Level 3.1, without any on-the-job experience. Where as a full-time trainee, I already have a year's experience on the job when I "start" as a Cert III. It's so confusing
Please help - I have struggled with this company and I want to know EXACTLY what I am entitled to!
