David R Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 If you haven't signed an individual employment contract, aren't you automatically under the general or collective contract? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrienne Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 If you are required to get the mail each day you need to check with your insurance company to make sure that your vehicle is covered for being used for work purposes. Some insurance companies don't worry, some charge more. If your premiums increase then your work is required to pay the extra. If you are using a vehicle to get the mail and your mileage increases because of it they have to pay petrol money on the extra kms you travel. If you are required to pick up the mail on the way to work in the morning they are required to pay your extra hours or pay for you to be late to work. Why don't you just join the union because then you are covered under a collective contract. You can just contact the union yourself. If you think the boss could be difficult you then have a third party to negotiate on your behalf and if the boss doesn't like it, well too bad, he doesn't have a choice.

tHEcONCH Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 join a union And it's 62c cent per Km travelled and they cant take tax off that. 62cents is the maximum that can be claimed before triggering Fringe Benefit Tax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camnbron Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Heres a link for employers about travel allowances. EMA Link Its written in fairly plain english, I would suggest raising the subject with your employer, bringing all relevant information with you. If the company you work at has a group of people who have a collective contract and the scope of work you do is covered in the collective then for the first month you would be covered by the relevant collective that has the largest number of people doing the same or similar work. If you choose not to join the union that is covered by the collective then after 1 month you are freeriding on the back of the union. You effectively have a similar individual contract that the union has had to bargain for without paying union fees. Not a very nice thing to do to your workmates - IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
