Preventing Wage Underpayment In Your Franchise Business
It is super challenging trying to run a successful business, let alone manage your employer obligations by staying compliant and not facing a potential underpayment scandal within your franchise business.
Have you seen how many scandals are constantly being reported in the media of business owners underpaying their employees lately? You don’t want to be the next person who appears in the media or has to deal with this scandal of underpaying employees. Not only is it embarrassing and costly, it can harm your business brand and reputation.
It is way too easy to get things incorrect but playing the “I didn’t know” card is not going to cut it anymore in the eyes of Fair Work Australia. If you are a Business Owner, a Franchisor or a Franchisee and you have employees, it is important to take measures to ensure that you are doing the right thing and understand exactly what you are paying your employees.
