A mining services company is happy to let Far North Queensland employees show up without donning their usual work attire.
Pit N Portal recently promised job applicants they will not always have to wear a uniform, if successfully hired as an underground truck operator at Consolidated Tin Mines’ King Vol Project – 40km northwest of Chillagoe.
The contractor owned by Emeco Group claimed the successful candidate will immediately start a full-time day or night roster of two weeks on, two weeks off with an extra pyjama (PJ) day.
“Permanent position within a stable and secure contract,” the employer said on the Seek website.
“2:2 roster (day and night shifts) plus [a] PJ day.”
The successful applicant will also receive competitive rates, superannuation on all hours worked, salary sacrificing options and drive-in drive-out choices from Cairns, Atherton, Mareeba and surrounding areas.
The so-called “wear your pyjamas to work” movement began in the early 2000s as a fun way to relax workplace dress codes. Namely, people show up for shifts wearing their “softest, cosiest and silliest nightwear” and still get paid.
“It is a great way to have a bit of fun and feel comfortable in the workplace,” the Days of the Year website said.
“Wearing pyjamas for the day is a fun way of letting everyone feel as comfortable as possible in the workplace.”
