Know your rights at work

http://www.fairwork.gov.au/employment/international-students/pages/finding-out-about-your-entitlements.aspx

All workers have the right to a:
* Safe workplace which is free from discriminations, bullying, harassment,
* Fair pay
* Rest breaks
* Join a union

Paying cash in hand is against the law. Not paying tax is also against the law.

Students you can complain to the Fair Work Ombudsman if you think the employer is mistreating you or not paying you. They will investigate the case.

You have the right to a payslip in which the employer should have given you. That will document how much the employer has given you. They cannot deduct wages for a genuine mistake made or if a customer doesn't pay.

You do have the responsibility to tell the employer if something goes missing, even if it was not your fault.
