    Ye we are getting our holiday/sick leave paid out. Then I think its like we starting from scratch re our wages. (crap)

    The new owners have about five 7/Elevens, and have no clue how to manage / work in a supermarket, so I'm hoping that the existing staff (us) would be helpful and keep most of us. The old boss did say that they may cut our hours - I just do about 12 per week (plus extra on saturdays) so Id def. need to leave if Im being cut.

    In saying, the IGA has been going down the gurgler. I dont know where to start. Bad meat, chicken etc... I think its a nationality thing and the fact that they are vegetarians...

    Holiday leave and sick leave are one thing to get paid out, that would mean you would be 'starting again'.

    My question would be where would this leave you in terms of redundancy payouts? If you've now been with them a week, you'll get no payout, where if you've been with the actual IGA store for 5yrs you would. Make sense?

    Also, does your Long Service Leave still accrue from now or would this be backdated to your commencement with the store?

    Good luck!
