Wesfarmers has become the latest company to underpay its staff, the conglomerate admitting it had underpaid its Target employees $9 million.

Coles has also confessed to underpaying its workers $20 million over six years. The admissions come as the Coalition flags tougher laws to protect workers, which include naming and shaming companies that rip off their staff.

The National Secretary of the Shop, Distributive and Allied Employees' Association Gerard Dwyer told Sky News “we are unfortunately in a space where companies have not paid proper attention to their requirements under the law to ensure their employees are paid properly". “To get to the crux of the matter really requires the enforcement powers for unions to be restored,” he said.

Companies underpay employees due to ‘fantastically complex system’ | Sky News AustraliaEconomist Alan Moran told Sky News Host Chris Kenny employees are being underpaid by large companies due to “the complexity of the regulatory environment”.\n\nMr Moran suggested that the “complexity” surrounding “wage determination” and the difficulties “associated with the very high minimum wages” enforced in Australia have “created these problems”.\n\n“Wage determination [in Australia] is far more complex than in other countries and we have 120 different awards in this industry,” he said. \n\nMr Moran said it was “deliciously ironic” that the ABC and other virtue signallers of the world had been caught up in these scandals and suggested the underpayment of employees was in most cases “inadvertent”.\n\n“Firms have software packages which prevent them underpaying people but its obviously difficult to manage in certain cases”. \n\nAccording to Mr Moran “we have established such a fantastically complex system that no one knows what the rates should be at any one time”. \n It’s all about hitting us in the eye with the branding, over and over. So complex its never overpayment AlanMoran was the architect of the Victorian liberal & national party energy privatisation con His level lunacy was even to much for the IPA to stomach, who in turn ripped up his membership & gave him the boot That alone is Quite an achievement Worse when he hits the pins

'Virtue signalling companies' are 'failing at their own responsibilities' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says many of the companies who have been found to be underpaying their staff are the same ones who “lecture the country” on a myriad of issues. \n\nColes CEO Steven Cain has apologised after the retailer revealed it underpaid between 500 to 600 staff over a six-year period.\n\nThe supermarket giant admitted on Tuesday morning to underpaying workers by $20 million, with Attorney-General Christian Porter warning the company needs to 'get their house in order'.\n\n“Christian Porter is right to focus in on corporate virtue signalling,” Mr Kenny said. \n\n“Many of these companies like to lecture the country on climate change, gender equality, Indigenous issues [and] marriage equality … yet they are failing at their basic responsibilities”. \n\nImage: Getty \n OMG he’s literally saying that ‘woke’ companies are to blame for screwing over their employees Chris Kenny, back in the kennel! WoofWoof So externalities should be ignored then?
