The new Wage Theft Laws explained
From 1 January 2025, wage underpayments can now lead to criminal penalties for businesses. The new laws put greater responsibility on employers to ensure compliance with pay rates, entitlements, and record-keeping. Even unintentional payroll mistakes can result in fines and legal action. A payroll audit helps identify and rectify issues before they become a problem, ensuring your business remains compliant. With increased enforcement from the Fair Work Ombudsman, now is the time to take action.
