The operators of a pizza restaurant in Hobart have been fined $104,000 for discriminating against four foreign employees by adopting a different pay scheme and paying them much less than their Australian co-workers.
Six of the adult Australian workers were paid ordinary rates of more than $18 an hour and penalty rates of up to $46.31 on public holidays. QHA Foods was fined $80,000, while Mr Kumarasamy and Mr Raghuram — who Fair Work said were involved in managing the outlet — were each fined a further $12,000.The Fair Work Ombudsman argued the business operators, who were Indian migrants, knew the foreigners were entitled to be paid minimum award pay rates but chose to pay them less.

I spoke to a charity door knocker the other day who gets paid $5.50/hr to walk round Western Sydney in the hot sun for 12 hours at a time. She said the company instructed the workers not to tell people their rate of pay if asked. WageTheft auspol
