Wa.man, no, currently there is no guarantee of hours- however in the new contract C they will guarantee 20 days duties- but for that privelledge you will have to give up any control over your life to put it bluntly. but perhaps for some it will be appealing. Not me though. for those of us on contract B they will guarantee only 3 days per month.


i havent really tried the banks as far as a loan etc goes. but i think that as long as you can show that youve been employed (albeit casually) for a certain period of time, like a year or more and get a letter from MAM stating this also, then you probably would get something like a car loan. A mortgage is another story though- i believe they would expect you to have a fairly substantial deposit- ie more than someone with a full time job. although having said that,i do have a phone number for a lending insitution that was on a Current Affair that said it specialised in loans for people who are self employed, or casual (but regular) workers.

and yep , there have been a few month here and there that were 'poor' months as far as pay goes- but now that i know when its likely to happen i'll plan for it this year.
