Questions at Work
Do I Have to Apply to get The Minimum Wage increase?
Chelley asks:
My boss has put up a notice at work saying if we want to apply for the increase in our wages that’s meant to come in on July 1st we need to email him by the Friday our pays are done, which is next week and he’ll let us know his decision asap. Is this true? And if it is, what should I put in my application?
How Do I Make My Workplace Safe?
FRANCESCA ASKS: One of my finds sliced open his hand at work over the weekend. He said the guard on the slicer was half falling off. This made me think as I work in a restaurant kitchen which I know can be a bit dangerous sometimes; how can we make sure our workplace is safe?
