Re: Paternity Pay
I meant 40 weeks, sorry. Being self employed we have to lodge our taxes every 3 months. It seems like I'm always doing tax. Even on public holidays I have my hubby go over the figures with me to make sure I haven't made a mistake. I'm desperate for a holiday. A while back the ATO made a mistake and had to refund to us, they called it a mistake. I asked our accountant what it's called if I make an honest mistake. She said 'fraud', with a big fine! Go figure.Re: Paternity Pay

Re: Paternity Pay
The company could say the employee falsified their CV AB, but they would have to be lucky. If it was something minor, not done deliberately for advanrtage and was largely irrelevant, I don''t think that dismising someone on that basis would hold water - It would soon be realised what the employer's real motive was and then they could be in bother. Mistakes are made in contracts of employment every day, but employees don't say "Ah! I think I will get my employer for this" - it normally just gets put right so everyone is happy.Re: Paternity Pay
Re: Paternity Pay
If employers behaved themselves and played to the rules society lays down for them, there would be no problem, but we both know that they try to cut corners and exploit their privileged position, which is why we have Trade Unions and and robust system of Employment courts.Re: Paternity Pay
Joe, an employer has the right to hire a worker when he wants to so why should'nt he /she have the right to sack a worker( With just cause) when they want to?
