Below is a list of Australian (Mr. AUZ) Companies caught for Underpayment of Wages\u00a0 in Australia. The top 2 both exceed the amounts calculated for\u00a0 500+ business caught for underpayment of wages in the UK during 2023. <\/strong><\/p>\n

What does this mean.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well it means Mr. AUZ has failed. In the grand scheme of things, this indicates that there is a serious problem with Payroll and HR practices in Australia. The excuse being used is its the tech systems being deployed in the Payroll function. Well its likely that many Australian Payroll departments are utilizing the same or if not the same, then similar systems being used in the UK. Global accessible Payroll systems such as ADP, Lano, Deel, Multiplier, Remote, Papaya Global are to name a few.<\/p>\n

So if the systems are similar then how does Australia fall so short of the UK.\u00a0 We have\u00a0 heard that the Australian Industrial Relations framework is complicated but is that really an excuse. There is another likely cause and that is the fault being in the competency of the people administering your employment agreements as well as the ongoing communication to Payroll by these same people. This ongoing communication to Payroll is essential due to the consistent changes in variables related to the weekly remuneration of your employees.<\/p>\n
