Will employers be personally liable for "wage theft"?

from Business Essentials · host SoundCartel

Soon it will be a criminal offence if an employer intentionally underpays an employee. The operative word is "intentional", says Paul Cott, Principal at Law on Lydiard. The new federal workplace law comes into effect in January 2025. It’s important, Paul insists, that business owners stay informed about the correct awards and pay rates, regularly review their compliance, and seek legal advice if unsure to avoid legal risks.
