The Allan Fels-led Wage Fairness Panel has begun processing the wage claims of current and former 7-Eleven employees. The panel will invite 15,000 past and present 7-Eleven workers to submit claims for back-pay in the wake of the wage exploitation scandal. Fifty claims for back-pay have been processed so far, and these employees will collectively be paid around $A1.1m. It is estimated that 7-Eleven could potentially have to pay around $A300m to settle all claims.
