Sky News Business Reporter Edward Boyd says Coles has "admitted that its review into its pay is still ongoing, so the amount it owes employees could be higher than $20 million".
The supermarket giant admitted on Tuesday morning to underpaying workers by $20 million over the past six years. Mr Boyd told Sky News "as of today, it said it owes one per cent of its staff, 1150 people, about $20 million for payments over the last six years". "Coles said this was due to differences with their remuneration and the general retail industry award," he said.
