More than half a billion dollars in underpayments have been recovered and back-paid to Australian workers this year, the Fair Work Ombudsman has revealed. An incredible $509 million for 251,475 underpaid workers was recovered in 2022-23, the workplace regulator said. More than half of the recoveries came from large corporate and university employers who paid back more than 160,000 underpaid employees.
“Our investigations and enforcement actions send a clear message — all employers must place a higher priority on ensuring they are meeting all their workers’ lawful entitlements, including by improving their payroll and governance and investing in advice,” she said. The regulator filed 81 litigations in 2022-23 and 2424 Compliance Notices. Fair Work Inspectors also issued 626 Infringement notices for record-keeping or payslips breaches.
