Here you go Caabii..Sorry it's not the free money government handout you are looking for.
Fair Work Ombudsman recovers $470,000 for 700 food services workers
More than 700 food services workers throughout Australia will be back-paid $470,000 following a national campaign to uphold their workplace rights.
The money � an average of $671 per employee � is being progressively reimbursed after the Fair Work Ombudsman found they were underpaid.
A six-month campaign has targeted take-away food outlets, supermarkets, grocery stores, bread and cake shops, meat, fish and poultry distributors and dairy manufacturers.
Of 481 employers randomly audited by inspectors, 29 per cent were found to be underpaying 714 staff a total of $469,502.
The largest recoveries are in NSW ($203,919) and Victoria ($140,975) followed by Queensland ($42,781), Northern Territory ($38,664), Western Australia ($28,760), South Australia ($9188) and Tasmania ($5215).
In March, the former Workplace Ombudsman recovered $717,000 for 2170 hospitality workers and in January $540,000 for 1500 young workers under 24.
Fair Work Ombudsman Executive Director Michael Campbell says he is encouraged that 278 � or 58 per cent � of food service businesses scrutinised so far are compliant with national workplace law.
Mr Campbell says it is also pleasing that all employers found to be in breach have resolved their issues voluntarily after discussions with Fair Work inspectors.
While monitoring compliance with workplace law and investigating breaches, the Fair Work Ombudsman also aims to promote harmonious, productive and co-operative Australian workplaces.
The targeted campaign was conducted between December, 2008 and May, 2009, following a mail-out to 18,000 food service businesses nation-wide.
The biggest underpayments were in the take-away food sector, where $227,946 is to be reimbursed to 221 workers. |
