We’re looking for someone to join our Frankston team to help manage the magazine arrival work Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The total hours each week will be around twenty. I you know someone who is reliable and looking for a long term (i.e. more than two months!) role please have them email simonf@towersystems.com.au.
It is frustrating when you find someone good and they move on just when they get the hang of the intricacies of magazines. While you cannot make someone stay if they have a better offer elsewhere, the labour laws are quite one sided in this regard.Â
They should be Mark as you get to pick and choose who you take on as an employee. If they find a better job elsewhere and wish to leave and you make them stay all you end up with is a less productive and disgruntled employee.
Stephen,
Long term I agree – but in the interim period IR laws are extremely one sided. A permanent employee has to give no notice if they resign (this comes with a penalty in the form of a wage forfeit) and even with notice they are only required to give one week. Finding an employee in one week is extremely difficult (if not impossible in some areas) and then there is still the downtime with all the required training.
