Q on Visa 887 Work Requirements

[CactusON]

As a casual (albeit paid more per hour) employee at 2 jobs that make up 30-35 hours a week for 52 Weeks straight seems unfair.
In comparison to a Full Time employee with the benefit of 4 weeks of paid leave out of the 52 Weeks. This not including paid sick leave and public holidays.

 

To meet the work requirements of Visa 887:

Is it strictly 52 Weeks consecutively (straight), no breaks in between?
No Holidays, No Sick Days, No Public Holidays?

You must have worked full-time in a specified regional area for a total of at least one calendar year while holding one of the provisional GSM visas. 

A full-time position is one which normally requires 35 hours a week work. Where necessary, you can "add together" the hours worked in two part-time or casual positions to meet the full-time work requirement.

The Department notes that applicants who have been working on a contractual basis or are self-employed, in particular, will need to ensure they have evidence that supports their claim that they have worked for at least 35 hours a week.

The question still stands. As a casual with 35 Hours a week.

Hi, according to someone I know who successfully moved from 489 to 887, the 52 working weeks do not need to be continous. As long as you can collect 52 week payslips (it could be from several casual jobs that add up 35h/w) during the 2 years living requirement, it's sufficient.
