I work part-time at Coles and usually work 30+ hours a week. I asked for a week of annual leave before Christmas period, but my manager said it might be difficult because of staffing. I’ve said I’m flexible with which week I take off, but it still seems like it’ll be an issue.
I’ve also been sick multiple times and felt pressured to work because they couldn’t find anyone to cover my shifts. Now I’ve had an extra shift added to my roster on a day off without agreeing to it.
Can they refuse annual leave because of staffing, even when I’m flexible with dates? And can they add shifts to my roster without my agreement?
Just looking for advice from anyone familiar with the Coles Enterprise Agreement or who’s been in a similar situation. Thanks!

Question for Coles Deli workers. Just wondering how common it is for people to accidentally cut themselves on the job. If it’s happened to you, how was it handled? Did managers just do an incident report or, was there more follow-up?
Have you guys ever cut yourself with a knife without your slash proof glove?
