Pay
Your child may work in positions where cash payments are made and little documentation is provided.
All employees must receive correct pay. If your child is unsure about how their employers are paying them, make sure you have the right advice.
The law in NSW says that workers must be paid in cash, or by cheque, or electronic funds transfer. However, payment by cheque or electronic funds transfer must be agreed to by the worker. Cash-in-hand payment is not recommended for students as they are more difficult to verify and students who are paid in this way say that it is more difficult to save their earnings.
Awards and enterprise agreements usually list how often an employer must pay their employees (weekly, fortnightly etc). Casual employees can be paid at the end of each day's employment. However, if an employee requests it the employer must pay them at least fortnightly.
