Netix, he would like to get an apprenticeship in the auto industry, this job was for panel beating. I will report them, initially I wanted to ring his place of work and DS thought I was trying to get his job back which is why he didn't want me to ring. The company uses a job network agency, which is where all these boys are coming from so don't understand why they havn't picked up on this.
the job network agency will get paid for every person they place in a job there as well.... so it probably depends on how 'ethical' they are as to whether they would appreicate the news... personally I think you should tell them too - maybe they are not aware, I think (depending on how long the person stays in the job) they get another payment after a few months.... and if it's a long tem unemployed person the payments are larger AND the employer can get payments as well....
I really hope he finds something else - and good on him for the work he HAS done...
Here's the link to the contact page of the FairWork Ombudsman. It's helpful as it gives you a list of information that is helpful so you can suss it all out before you call.
As exactly what myturn said, the agency will be getting paid for each placement.
Get DS to write down everything that has happened, with dates if possible. For the bullying issue, that is dealt with through Worksafe, if he wants to pursue that (it would be a totally seperate thing to fairwork aust.).
I hope he can find something else, much better, very soon. Xx
