Joe thought he was a good boss. He paid the same as the café down the street but didn’t check if this was correct.
The Fair Work Ombudsman received anonymous tipoffs about businesses in Joe’s area and audited his business.
Joe had to pay back his staff $46,500. The reputation of his business suffered and he risked possible court penalties.
Thousands of successful business owners use our help and resources to get it right.
Don’t be like Joe. Don’t put your business at risk.
