The Federal Circuit Court has ordered a 7-Eleven franchisee to pay $A408,348 in penalties for underpaying staff. The court has found that the Brisbane store’s owner had underpaid 12 employees more than $A82,000 and had falsified the store’s payroll records. Judge Michael Jarrett said the franchisee had displayed "contemptuous disregard" for workplace laws. He was ordered to pay the outstanding wages, although the employees are still owed about $A35,000.
