A 7-Eleven store in Brisbane has been ordered to pay a penalty of more than $A400,000 for worker exploitation. An investigation by the Fair Work Ombudsman revealed that 12 employees were underpaid more than $A82,000. Maurice Blackburn’s Brisbane employment principal Giri Sivaraman has warned that the owner of the store could opt for bankruptcy, depriving the affected workers of their compensation.

The Fair Work Ombudsman has taken a 7-Eleven franchisee to court over incorrect wages paid to 21 employees. Jason Yuan, who operates two stores in Brisbane, faces maximum penalties of up to $A10,200 per breach if the Federal Circuit Court finds that he failed to pay public holiday penalty rates, shift penalty rates and casual loadings to his workers.
