now Iâm wondering how much your work place pays the agency.
you might be getting only 50-75% of your pay
eventually see if you can be directly paid by your work place, your pay might increase
and I am unamused, the delay is unacceptable, imagine if an employee had children to feed or life saving meds like insulin to buy that day
Yeah I have a 6 month probation before the workplace will considering hiring me themselves. So I just gotta prove myself :) weâll see if they donât burn me though lol
Totally get your point about kids and meds; Iâm in a position of privilege as I donât have to worry about that today. It would be shitty af if I did have to consider that though for sure.
Itâs a good rate, over $30 per hour so Iâm not complaining :)

An agency wanted us to pay above award for a casual (absolutely no problem with that) with an extra $15+ an hour on for the agency and if we chose to keep them we have to pay them a finderâs fee. I get youâve gotta run the agency, but thatâs a steep bill for a small business!
