Re: Well that's the shortest job I've had
I only know of the brothel on the industrial estate - Miss Ella Bella, opposite where my girls go to their dance classes...
Come on, name and shame!
I'd always be very cautious about working for/renting from Italians. Racist? yes, probably but once bitten twice shy.

There is an Adult shop next to the ANZ on Reid Prom. The restaurant in question is in the same vicinity.

Mr PP said exactly the same, worked for an Italian Restaurant many years ago in the UK, agreed a salary and hours, the guy had him working like a dog and at the end of the week halved his salary. I would like to say this is rare but have heard similar stories.

That wasn't a job, just a con to get free labour.
I would take him to the small claims court (just for the hell of it) and report him to the relevant authorities.

Unpaid work trials are illegal. This is the NSW Industrial Relations site but I think this is now standard Australia wide - check the WA equivalent and complain - then send him a bill for the work you did.

And thanks to everyone else who's also replied Think I will have to complain some where as I'm guessing it's probably not the first time he's done this. Don't see why he should get away with it & get free labour.

Kevin has had similar experiences... One job was meant ti be full time, she did all that was asked and a load more too, got them up to date on shedloads of data entry and filing.... Then they let her go coz they didnt have enough work for her.... Next week another new girl started.... She was let go... Then another a few weeks later.... Looks like they just have these young girls in for a couple of days to catch them up then 'let them go" without pay....

Go back with your husband and kick up a fuss in front of all the customers, Personally I would have knocked the idiot to the floor.
