$80,000 penalty for underpaid wages…


A company has been fined in the District Court for not paying the minimum wage entitlements to 18 of its workers.  In addition to the fine of $80,000 the company also has to pay over $97,000 in unpaid wages.

An investigation by the Labour Inspectorate discovered the company short paid its 18 workers over a two month period.
