The Fair Work Ombudsman (FWO) has taken court action against warehousing company Winit (AU) Trade over allegations that it underpaid 30 migrant workers in Sydney by $368,684.
The FWO claims that four of the underpayments by Winit meet the definition of ‘serious contraventions’ under the Protecting Vulnerable Workers section of the Fair Work Act, which incurs a maximum penalty of $630,000 per breach. All employees have now received backpay.
