About the Webinar

Underpayment of employees has become the increasing focus of the Fair Work Ombudsman, with more corporates outing themselves and repaying millions to their workers. This session will look at why underpayments happen and what organisations should be doing to ensure compliance, including:

  • How the Fair Work Act and State legislation regulate underpayments, including proposed reforms
  • Consequences of failure to comply with the law – not just financial
  • How far does the complexity of the award system contribute to underpayment?
  • Strategies for keeping up to date with payment obligations and avoiding underpayment claims
  • Key steps for managing underpayment claims and investigations, including:
  • does self-reporting minimise the fall-out?
  • powers of the FWO in investigation
  • what documents and information can the FWO request?
  • are any office-holders personally liable for underpayment?
  • managing the public relations and workplace implications of an investigation and prosecution
  • Recent cases and examples including Arundell Ors v Macquarie Bank Ltd [2020] FCCA 2720
