    is this discrimination or unfairness

    I have been employed in this company for 4 months now as a temp doin admin and cashier nd sales, d lady hu had been doin this was on probartion for 3 months on a sales position. Then Sales position was advertised andwe both applied. I got the rejection letter for sales position nd she got the job. My current position was never advertised and when i asked if it was still available i was told that a suitable candidate had been found which was very odd for me because because they were never any interviews for the position yet its been taken. What has also come to my attention is that the position has been taken by my very own HR Managers daughter and i was left without a job just like that. Please advice is this fair in any way or was i descriminated against. Please advise

    To be clear, are we talking about part time employment on an irregular basis, or regular employment on a fixed term contract?

    In my opinion you have no grounds.

    Thanx guys i guess i was just heartbroken because in the end i was jot considered for this position. I will let it go and who knows maybe when something else comes I will be the first option since i have experience. I just wanted to find out what choices do i have before i burn my bridges. many thanx to all for the advice.

    Be careful of opinions presented without a basis. As there was temporary employment in excess of 3 months, it is possible that section 198B of the Labour Relations Act might apply.

    Im battling to understand what you have said and mean. We have about 11 temps that work at companies on an ongoing basis as temps. Their positions are often filled with someone else for various reasons. (All according to the law and temp contracts etc ...) Therefore what do you mean "without basis" ?

    You have not in any way qualified your statement. As I indicate, section 198AB of the Labour Relations Act may be of consequence - your statement does not allow for the possibility.

    For clarity, you can read section 198B of the Labour Relations Act here.
