Workplace Minister to pursue allegations against Rockpool empire


READ MORE

In extreme cases, skilled chefs at the Rockpool Dining Group’s restaurants are earning as little as $15 an hour some weeks, well below the minimum wage, while working up to 30 hours’ unpaid overtime.


Company emails seen by Fairfax also advised workers on how not to record the actual hours they worked, another likely contravention of workplace laws.


Mr Laundy told Sky News on Sunday he would ensure that the Ombudsman asked Fairfax’s reporters for the documents which backed up the worker’s claims.


“All allegations of this type … should be followed up and are followed up by the Fair Work Ombudsman,” he said.


In a statement to Fairfax, the Minister said the Liberal Government had reinforced the Ombudsman’s powers to investigate such issue.
