It’s (back) payday for western suburbs workers as Fair Work hits tardy bosses

Western suburbs workers have been back-paid $174,300 after intervention by the Fair Work Ombudsman.

The highest amount — $82,200 — went to a clerical worker in Kingsville after he was underpaid the minimum hourly rate and penalty rates over six years.
