We were recently made aware that the Fair Work Ombudsman has commenced legal action against a long-distance road transport company and its accountant as it allegedly failed to comply with a Compliance Notice that was issued by a Fair Work Inspector regarding an underpayment of wages. This is a timely reminder to: - review the wage rates particularly given they increased on 1 July 2024. You can find a summary of the new pay rates on our website, and - cooperate with the Fair Work Ombudsman if a Fair Work Inspector contacts you. If you have questions about how you are paying your staff, please don’t hesitate to contact us on 1800 272 144 or email [email protected]. Become a NatRoad member to ensure you get access to HR advice (included in your membership). #heavyvehicle #NatRoad #truckingbusiness #australiantrucking #truckies #heavyhaulage #employeradvice #smallbusinessadvice #HRhelp #payroll
