An employer which did not pay a worker correctly was ordered to do so by
the Employment Relations Authority. The ERA awarded $8000 in unpaid wages.
However, the employer failed to comply with the order and was fined
$11,000 by the Employment Court for that breach. $6600 of the fine was ordered
to be paid to the employee.
This is thought to be one of the biggest fines imposed on an employer in
New Zealand for such a breach.
