January 23, 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Fair Work Ombudsman has launched legal action in the Federal Court against the Super Retail Group Limited and four subsidiaries relating to alleged underpayments to workers of more than $1 million.<\/p>\n

The four subsidiaries are Supercheap Auto, Rebel Sport, SRG Leisure Retail (trading as BCF and Ray\u2019s Outdoors) and Macpac Retail.<\/p>\n

The FWO alleges the four subsidiaries failed to pay all entitlements owed for hours actually worked, and that overtime entitlements, weekend and public holiday penalty rates, various allowances and other entitlements were underpaid.<\/p>\n

The FWO is seeking penalties against Super Retail Group Limited and each of the four subsidiaries.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It alleges some of the failures meet the definition of “serious contraventions” under the Fair Work Act, which have a maximum penalty of $630,000 per breach.<\/p>\n

For the other alleged contraventions, SRG Limited and the four subsidiaries face penalties of up to $63,000 per breach.<\/p>\n

The FWO is also seeking court orders for the four subsidiaries to rectify outstanding entitlements allegedly owed to 146 sample employees.<\/p>\n

A directions hearing will be held in the Federal Court.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
