The SDA is the union for retail workers

Did you know?

You must be paid for ALL time worked.

This includes if you’ve been asked to start 5 or 10 minutes early or stay on late.

When you complete training for work – you must be paid for it.

Even if it’s online training – it should be on work time.

If your employer requires you to wear a specific uniform – it shouldn’t cost you.

Your employer should pay for or provide any compulsory uniform.

Every day across Australia we’re helping our members to understand what their workplace rights are.

We know it can be confusing sometimes to know what to do when an issue comes up at work.

And if you’re just starting out in retail, it’s good to know what you should be paid and what to expect.
