WorkLawyers’ Clients win groundbreaking case for systematic underpayment
WorkLawyers is pleased to have secured the first Federal Court of Australia judgment finding Serious Contraventions of the Fair Work Act for systemic underpayments by an employer.
The case centered on habitual and dishonest underpayments of two international workers who were ripped off by their employer. Both employees worked as Chefs in the Illawarra region, south of Sydney
The case is next before Justice Halley where penalties of up to $126,000 for individuals and $630,000 for corporations can be ordered to be paid by the Court on top of compensation Orders, interest and Costs.
