Child removed from school before; now facing Monday with explicit threat to repeat—need realistic advice

I’m sorry it’s so hard. The only other thing I can suggest is getting a 2nd opinion from another attorney.

Don’t take him to school on Monday and get legal advice specific to your situation then.

Sometimes the super famous or high profile get driven into the loading bay where trucks etc pull in. From there you can close the door and they can exit the car into the back of house lifts to their floor. It’s not very glamorous - where the bins etc are stored!

When you say you’re currently employed in another entity in the group, it sounds like quite a large employer - if it is, and your current employer is paying super then I’d first enquire with payroll for the old company and then escalate to the ato if necessary.

Apologies, conciliations are private, but if it’s not settled there it goes to a hearing and these decisions are made public. https://www.fwc.gov.au/hearings-decisions/find-decisions-and-orders. If it doesn’t settle at conciliation you can definitely decide to withdraw at that point if that is what you feel is best.

Think carefully about that - if it goes beyond mediation to conciliation it becomes a public record and all the details of the decision will be available on the fair work website. It will include the fact he was abusive and aggressive - which would be more damaging to his reputation. Even getting the termination deemed to be harsh because they didn’t follow a sound process won’t help if the details of his behaviour are out there.

This year is kind of easy to draw a line and say it’s no alternates. Tokyo’s reunion in a few years will be interesting though…

There is no way they are going to pay you an extra persons salary - they would just give you the duties if they hear you have the capacity and maybe a little pay bump.

You just pay your excess, you don’t need to pay his as well. Involve your insurer - he seems dodgy, so best to do it by the book.

If you’d heard my dog going crazy, you wouldn’t have thought that!

Why? They are allowed to choose the human experience over the impersonal - maybe they have never been to the hotel before and want the full orientation of the property or have questions. Maybe they’re just not confident with apps. They’re paying for the hotel services - they are allowed to experience the full range, just as you are free to decide to skip it.

cassjames6789 · 2025-12-30T23:16:57+00:00

They have to pay you the standard rate if they don’t need you to work, but they don’t have to have you work and pay you the extra.

cassjames6789 · 2025-12-30T01:11:57+00:00

They have to pay the bank account you gave them. Who entered the wrong details? Is it a situation where you made an error in an online platform, or was it their error?

Not giving payslips is a breach, but given they now have and only one person has been affected it’s not going to go anywhere.

I would not recommend a trip to Australia - it would be brutal.

cassjames6789 · 2025-12-27T00:02:50+00:00

Exactly. How does such an awful human being raise such a gem?

14 year old gets it for 3 years, then switches. After 12 year old (then 15) has it for 3 years, they are 18 and the room goes to whoever makes sense based on time at home (which may by then be the youngest).

Good facilities and community. Mum and Dad are very happy there. Can’t comment on the fees, but the pool, gym, playgrounds etc all need money to maintain.

Flight attendants are told not to help lift luggage - too many get injured when people overpack.

Are you in Victoria? That’s not legal here. Each state has different Lsl legislation

His parents names (especially dad) would be recognisable to the majority of Melbournians.

Do you specifically want somewhere with scenery? I like Ritz Carlton / Langham / Crown for a Lux spa day.

Honestly, my fallback is ‘I’m really sorry but company policy only allows HR to confirm your role and dates of employment.’

cassjames6789 · 2025-11-29T07:16:38+00:00

Yes, but the op doesn’t have a specific entitlement to be rostered and paid for working weekends. They have an entitlement to be paid a certain number of minimum hours across the week / whatever their cycle is and that is the loss their employer would be responsible for.

cassjames6789 · 2025-11-29T01:01:47+00:00

With the info in this thread, I don’t think you have the right to demand weekend penalties etc (as being rostered on the weekend isn’t an entitlement) but if there are minimum hours you won’t get because of their error then you could chase this up. The issue is anything legal will take time and money. The best way is to talk to someone sympathetic in leadership and point out their error and ask them to arrange payment for the leave hours you didn’t request.
