It is most important that employers make sure they
understand what wages they need to pay their employees, including penalty rates
and payments for public holidays.
This issue has recently been highlighted with a restaurant
chain being obliged to reimburse staff $21,700.00 for underpaying employees for
their Christmas day entitlements.
Many underpayments are inadvertent but it is important to
ensure that restaurants comply with their minimum obligations under the
Australian Workplace laws.
Employees who wish to ensure they comply with their
workplace obligations should not hesitate to contact the Workplace Relations
department of Nevett Ford Lawyers.
Nevett Ford Lawyers provide advice on all aspects of
Employment Law.
