Job offer

[teamV]

I had a bit of spare time this afternoon ,so even though we aren't heading out till june ,I contacted a few truck garage's and emailed them my cv and cover letter .To my surprize ive been offered a job ,I going to keep my options open at the moment ,so won't be rushing to sign up ,but they offered me this,

$27.00/hr plus super, 4 weeks annual leave, overalls supplied and cleaned,overtime and penalty rates apply.

I think I was expecting wages to be a bit higher,or is it just me expecting to much ,also how is the super worked out and is it like a pension as I'm not really sure what super is ,maybe just me being a bit thick

Super = Superannuation is like a pension think most places its 9% of your wage

[Rachiegarlo]

Super means superannuation and yes it is a pension. All employers have to pay equivalent to 9% of their employees wages into a super fund. The employee can also pay into this as well. Four weeks holidays is pretty standard. Penalty rates would be for working on Saturdays/Sundays and after a certain time of day I should imagine.

congrats, and that seems like a decent package, $27 an hour + penalty rates and 4 weeks holidays, im not sure what peolpe in ur trade get but that doesnt seem too bad, my mates a fully qualified panel beater and he gets less

This is a bit more of the email,so I thinks its the going rate for mechanic's there,

Our qualified technicians are currently being paid $27.00/hr plus super, 4 weeks annual leave, overalls supplied and cleaned, overtime and penalty rates apply.

As per standard procedure a 3 month probationary period would apply.

Over thepast 5 years we have successfully employed staff from South Africa, WestAfrica, Fiji, UK & Philippines.

Please advise if you wish to proceed with the above and we can have a letter of employment drawn up.
Please do nothesitate to contact myself if you require any further information

Even more of a surprise was I've also had an employment agency phone me at home early this morning about a job offer,from reading over the past few days how hard the building trade seems to be,we are over the moon to have had two reply's after less the 24 hours.

I think I sounded a bit gready in my first post, its just I had done a few sum's in me head with rent being 300 to 350 a week and other expence's it just seemed a bit of a sqeeze to have any spare cash ,but we sat down last night and went through a few sums and if both of us we're working it wouldn't be that bad.

There's is a link to a job on seek it say's 60,000 to 65,000 but I think that will include overtime etc,
