7-Eleven shells out $173.6 million to underpaid workers
Convenience store chain 7-Eleven has back paid $173.6 million in wages, interest and superannuation to 4043 employees following an investigation by the Fair Work Ombudsman.The probe found the franchisees deliberately falsified records to disguise underpayment of wages, and 7-Eleven did not adequately detect or address noncompliance.
Eleven court cases were brought against 7-Eleven franchisees, resulting in more than $1.8 million in fines, including for unlawful cashback schemes and flat rates.
