@core24clubs Why is the payroll team focused on contracts and not on paying its staff? Could this be indicative of cash flow issues? Considering instructors have been working on-site for years without contracts, I fail to see why these contracts are now required for them to be paid. 3/3
@core24clubs has delayed paying its instructors, citing the payroll team's focus on processing contracts. This issue arose after the company provided instructors with contracts in response to questions about super, stating that it would be deducted from their invoices. 1/3
@core24clubs Moreover, the Group Fitness Manager mistakenly sent a contract intended for a select few who negotiated super on top of their rate to all staff. Instructors can now expect to be paid on Tuesday, four days late. 2/3
GFH has requested the FWO to investigate a health club chain that failed to pay penalties to employees under the previous award, with projections of $15-$60 million owing to thousands of women, many of whom are single mothers.
@sallymcmanus For the past two years, I have been working to establish a fitness professional union in response to the highly casualized nature of our sector and prevalent sham contracting.
@sallymcmanus Our modern trade union concept is inspired by the RAFFWU, and we are now in the final stages of applying to the FWC. Any advice you might have for someone in my position would be greatly appreciated!
@core24clubs Independent contractors who are compensated for their labour are employees under Superannuation Guarantee (SG) legislation. If you're not making contributions on their behalf, you could face a significant outstanding bill with the ATO, regardless of any contracts. 📜
@bodyfitkc recently communicated to GFIs that external legal advice confirmed they are correctly classified as “independent” contractors who work from a roster, have a determined rate, follow an invoice due date, and adhere to company policy. 1/2
@Derrimut247 instructors haven't been paid in four weeks, while the owner bids millions for a holiday home on "The Block." This shows poor taste and is surely a breach of contract. Are there cash flow issues? @7NewsSydney@9NewsAUS@Channel10AU
The registrant count at @AUSactive is dropping by about 50 members weekly (currently under 10,500, despite the website's claimed 20,000). At this rate, the public company will lose all members within 3 years. #fitnessregistration#industryassociation#peakbody
We have attempted to contact @snapfitnessAU's Head Office regarding Group Fitness Instructors who are working as contractors and not receiving their superannuation entitlements. We have received no response.
@sallymcmanus I have been working in fitness for 20 years, the last of which I've spent collaborating with colleagues across Australia to establish the Australian Union of Fitness Professionals (AUFP). We've submitted our application. Our rulebook required amendments.
Aligned Leisure took nearly a month to determine its official policy regarding payment for cancelled classes within 24 hours for casual employees. The decision was NOT to provide payment. Disgraceful. @Richmond_FC
