Underpayment claims

Employees can recover wages by claiming breach of contract; contravention of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) by failing to pay the relevant minimum wage; or where there is no agreement about wages, a claim in quantum mertit. Depending on the circumstances, these claims may be settled privately or in court. In some instances, the Fair Work Ombudsman may choose to investigate a claim, but only if the application involves very serious issues or is in the public interest.
