And what to do if you think you're being underpaid. 9News

Ethically, many businesses feel that self-reporting underpayments gives a degree of transparency both to employees and the general public and that makes the acceptance of a mistake far more swift.

In some instances, it is a better strategy to wear the pain of a scandal that you've self-reported than to have it dug up by journalists Fair Work Ombudsman investigators. Think of it in terms of your own household: if one of your kids ran up to you saying they drank the last of the milk, would you be more or less angry than if you discovered an empty milk bottle had been placed back in the fridge?Yes it is illegal under the Fair Work Act 2009 – but many people argue that the laws do not go far enough to punish "systemic wage theft" by companies who have found payroll errors.
