The Employment Relations Authority has
penalised the director of a company that failed to supply wage and time records
and copies of Employment Agreements over $20,000. This penalty is to be paid personally by the
director.
$4,400 unpaid wages was because the
company had failed to pay minimum wage rates to its employees, $15,000 penalty
for failure to pay minimum wages and $2,000 penalty for failure to supply wage
and time records and employment agreements.
In setting the penalties the ERA took
into account that the Labour Inspector had given the employer several
opportunities to supply the requested wage and time and employment agreement
records and he had offered to do so on two occasions but failed to provide any
records.
