The main reason though, especially for those in retail or hospitality is you have to deal with the arrogant entitled pr**** that take these things for granted, have probably never worked outside of office hours & who think you don't deserve loading because their eggs benedict might cost a bit more at the Cafe on a weekend.
PS I currently don't work weekends or public holidays but am more than happy to pay extra for my eggs benedict with smashed avo at the cafes for Sunday brunch.
People go out for breakfast Monday to Friday as well.
Those staff don’t get penalties and still have to deal with arrogant customers].
I think people who work Monday to Friday and are rostered on every Saturday or Sunday or public holidays should get penalties still it’s the teenagers or other people who choose to just work weekends coz of the higher rates that should be abolished
Then they probably wouldn't work those hours & the shops won't be able to get staff so they wont be able to open anyway.
There’s definitely that possibility but teenagers and people who choose not to work mon-fri still need coin.
I’m not sure right now in the workplace with businesses struggling to fill jobs would be the right time for change but once the world ‘normalises’ again it should be looked at.
My question has always been why are we the only state left like this?
