PEOPLE AND CULTURE 1
A company culture is a combination of all the experience of life where employees and people are the
key tool behaviour. Culture is basically influenced by organization executives and other manager
staff where employees are playing significant roles in managing small place as well as large place.
Employees are the people who are hired by an employer to do a specific job that may be in a coffee
shop as see in this study. I was assigned to be an employee who is playing role model where he was
not getting what he was too achieved in the workplace.
We have done several activities where there are three role players in coffee shop. The first one
entitled with owner or manager of a coffee shop, the second one is an employee who has some
issue with the coffee shop and he is underpaid also and the third one is from the Australian
government who has represented himself as a mediator between both and helps employee for
resolving issues in coffee shop. The manager was not paying him for the overtime, no payment for
penalty rates and no payment for sick leaves. As, I was working in a coffee shop for two years and I
am not getting my sick leave, no penalty rates, pay for overtime and entitlement and continuously
working for long hours at my place.
As according to Fair Works Ombudsman, there are rules and regulation which are to be followed by
manager or top level authorities to sustain employees for long period of time in workplace or in
coffee shop. I was working in a coffee shop for 2 years and never get pay for what I have worked at
that place. There was no sick leave allotted to me and working for long hours in coffee shop results
in no overtime pays and enough leaves annually. Australian Government in his Fair Work
Ombudsman, already states about pay and leave policies which should be provided to employee at
workplace (Fair Work Ombudsman, 2019).
I was more frustrated and when I was devoting my more working long hours at coffee shop, I want
sick leaves, overtime pays and many health benefits. The person from government made such
regulations for the employees where employee in training period or when they have done overtime
work, they should be provided for each hour in a single day or a month. Excess work of more than 12
hours which is engaged as 12 hour in single day or 304 ordinary hours with eight weeks will surely be
paid more than the employee minimum hourly wages (FAIR WORK COMMISSION, 2019). In my
opinion, they should be pay for extra overtime work done at coffee shop by me, as one of my friends
had received good amount of incentive in form of doing extra work with long hours at some other
place.
Australian Government in fair work ombudsman, states regulations which each and every employee
should be cleared about. A national Employment standard provides ten minimum entitlements to
employees that ensure to sustain in workplace environment and these are to be known by all
employees at any workplace. Maximum numbers of week hours are 38 hours per week and id they
want additional then there is extra reasonable hours. Annual leave and personal leaves for up to 10
days per year are promoted for employee (Fair Work Ombudsman, 2019).
As an employee of coffee shop, manager do not provided me with any leaves such as sick or paid
leaves. But with the help of government, it becomes easy to know about these regulations. Fair work
commission provides information about the process of making agreements in workplace area that is
helpful for employees. According to me I am the key motivator for workplace and should be bind
with agreements that can help him to clarify his working in that place. With some extra work done
by one of my friend at some other place, he is bind with agreement and company has provided all
