thanks, we have hr covered

Depending on the scale of your business, you may already have a diligent HR/ People Culture/Accountant/Payroll Manager working in your organisation and you may have internal or external auditors and adviser, Board of Directors, risk committes, but that didn't stop CBA, Commsec, Optus Retailco, Woolworths, ABC, QANTAS, 7/11, to name just a few, who have been penalised for non compliance in their wage payments.

https://www.fairwork.gov.au/newsroom/media-releases/ will give a chilling insight into how many businesses are found to be non-compliant. Select the year and the month, apply the filter and results are found down the page.

Hospitality businesses have a terrible compliance record and are subject to ongoing field work by the Fair Work Ombudsman. We are not in the scare you game, but a simple search will show you the past activity and results, it's not a good read! 

As good as every organisation is, it only takes one mistake to infect the wage compliance requirements and suddenly the entire organisation is at risk.

For the sake of mitigating risk management, engage an expert in this niche HR field

For the sake of having an expert undertaking a fresh review of your compliance and record keeping to ensure your future is risk mitigated, the future penalties of non compliance in wages is expanding from civil penalties to civil penalties and criminalisation.

Is it really worth the risk not to review?   

There is no benefit to us to be trying to point score and apportion blame for past mistakes, it's happened, we need to move on in the best interests of all parties with a clear pathway to compliance.
