Wage compliance has never been more important. With Australia's recent minimum wage increase now taking effect, employers must ensure their payroll practices, salary arrangements and award compliance processes are up to date. At the same time, criminal wage theft provisions are now in force, increasing the risks associated with underpayments and placing wage compliance firmly in the regulatory spotlight. 

Led by Heinz Lepahé, this timely webinar will provide practical legal insight into the key wage compliance risks now facing Australian employers. Heinz will unpack the difference between an honest payroll mistake and intentional underpayment, explain what employers need to know about the new criminal wage theft framework, and share practical steps organisations can take to reduce risk. 

The session will also examine three high-profile and controversial wage compliance case studies, highlighting lessons from major underpayment investigations, remediation programs and Fair Work Ombudsman enforcement action.
