I was offered a position if room leader after my last prac

Post by hafida » Tue Nov 22, 2016 8:00 am

Hi,
After my last prac as a student in 2015, I was offered a position of a Room Leader at the pay rate of $21.52. Is this the correct amount I should be paid?.
I have just checked my contract and it says that the position title I was offered is of a Diploma in Early Childhood Education. But when introduced or spoken of me, I am given the tittle of Room Leader.
May I know please my exact payment as the title in the contract says and as a Room Leader? And should I get the contract changed?
Thank you for your help

To be a room leader you must have or be actively working towards a Diploma qualification. So, all it means that you're a room leader with a diploma qualification.

Ok so once you had completed your Diploma qualification you would have started on Level 4.1 and the full-time hourly wage is $24.88/per hour. Once you have had your Diploma for 1 year, you will go up to Level 4.2 and your hourly wage will be $24.65/per hour.

Hope this helps!
