Did you know:

• it is illegal for an employer to treat you any differently to other workers based on your gender, religion, culture or nationality?
• you may be entitled to higher pay for working at night, on the weekend or during a public holiday?
• your employer cannot dismiss you if you are away from work temporarily due to illness?
• The Fair Work Ombudsman provides a free service to all people working in Australia. They have a range of information available on their website to help you understand your rights at work.
