It was recently revealed that Crown Melbourne and Crown Perth, owned by Southbank-based Crown Resorts Limited, should pay workers more than $1.2 million in compensation, including pensions and interest. In addition, the Royal Family has entered into an enforceable agreement with the Fair Work Ombudsman (FWO) in Australia.
Self-reporting:
The order to compensate workers came as Crown Resorts reported to the Australian Fair Work Ombudsman in March 2020 that Crown Melbourne and Crown Perth failed to compensate 200 chefs, concierge, receptionists, administrative assistants, hairdressers, hairdressers and massage therapists based on minimum award rates, absences and penalties. The self-report was also made after Fair Work Ombudsman Sandra Parker sent a letter to all of Australia’s top 100 companies on the ASK list asking them to pay more attention to pay compliance.
However, the FWO found that the wage shortage was due to Crown’s misrecognition of some workers as unpaid, failing to fulfill its obligations under four different awards, as well as failing to maintain all employee records. As a result, Crown underpaid approximately $1,025,000 for 200 incumbent and former workers from July 2014 to June 2020, without including pensions, interest and tips.
This company has already paid more than half of its employees in salary:
According to the FWO, “the company has repaid more than $1.2 million to 192 of its current and previous employees, including severance pay and an additional 10% interest and tip.” 파친코 However, the enforceable business requires that the remaining employees be cleared of arrears within 180 days.
Crown Melbourne revised $567,000 in back pay to 102 of its 110 employees who were privately underpaid, with personal payments ranging from $22 to $66.714. Crown Perth, on the other hand, paid individual payments ranging from $5 to $55.192 to all 90 employees over $659,000.
Other payments:
However, after entering into an enforceable agreement with the Fair Work Ombudsman, the company will also have to pay A$350,000 ($235.000) to the Commonwealth Integrated Revenue Fund.
In a related development, Fair Work Ombudsman Sandra Parker said: “Executable business was an appropriate step to be taken due to cooperation in the Crown’s investigation and commitment to correct underpayments. Under the enforceable project, the Crown promised to implement strict measures to ensure that all workers now and in the future receive correct wages. These actions include requesting two independent annual audits at their own expense to check workplace compliance. As I selected ASX’s top 100 companies in early 2020 and have consistently said since then, employers should put high priority on their workplace obligations. Crown applied the relevant awards to some employees and the annual salary did not meet all minimum qualifications for working hours, resulting in long-term underpayments for employees and more calibration costs.”
“The enforceable business will require Crown to publish notices about the company’s violations on newspapers, websites and Facebook pages,” the FWO added
