Getting A Fair Deal Doing a Part Time Paper Run and Circulars (Ovato, New Company Name, formerly PMP Limited)
Cost of Living in NZ and The Minimum Wage (My Other Title)
Hi everyone, Matthew here. Happy New Year 2019. Sorry haven't posted anything for a while now.
Anyways I just to know what people think or what advise I should get about keeping my current job but asking the boss in charge about getting a fair pay for delivering newspapers and circulars in my local area in West Auckland.
I have worked for a newspaper company under 2 different name changes. First it was Stuff Limited, then was called PMP Limited now called OVATO.
Now to cut the chase, I receive about $3.10 per 100 papers (well two areas I receive this amount so it will roughly say $6.20 per 100 papers and the other run I do is roughly that first amount shown as above).
This is what I get more or less delivering the Western Leader. The Thursdays paper is much more bulkier because of the real estate magazine insert. I do a larger area in West Auckland NZ and roughly deliver 1400+ papers to three areas each week.
Now in saying here in NZ, the minimum wage will go up to $17.70 per hour this March or April this year I believe and the cost of living going up as well. Now saying all of this, does anyone think this is fair that I am earning a very low wage at the newspaper company I am working with with the amount of papers I am delivering each week? What do people think about that? Am I getting a fair deal or does anyone think that the newspaper company is doing something illegal and not paying its fair share to all people who deliver the newspapers and circulars?
PS. With the circulars that I as do, I receive $2 per 100 leaflets which I also deliver in my local area here in West Auckland. Does anyone have ideas what I should do to get a fair pay agreement with the newspaper company I work with?
Suspicious Guy
Keep an eye on this guy, pretended to read the water meter, then wandered up the drive crowbar in hand when I asked what he wanted he said power and is there a dog.We have smart meters. He opened my neighbours gate (we are 3 units) and went in the back of her place with his crowbar. My son went round there and he took off. Police informed.
