Mining magnate Gina Rinehart has launched a profit-sharing scheme for employees of her Roy Hill iron ore project. The share of profits to be distributed to Roy Hill workers will be linked to the company’s iron ore export volumes, with the first payment to be made in December. Roy Hill is seeking government approval to lift the mine’s capacity from 55 million tonnes to 60 million tonnes. Rinehart’s Hancock Prospecting, which has a 70 per cent stake in Roy Hill, has also formally opened its $A390m takeover bid for Atlas Iron.

At present 7-Eleven franchisees currently receive 43 per cent of their stores’ profits. However, the Australian convenience store chain has proposed a new business model with a sliding scale for the profit split, based on a franchisee’s earnings. Many franchisees who attended a meeting in Sydney on 8 October 2015 were not impressed with the new business model, which was developed in response to the wage exploitation scandal.
