How to tell if your boss is stealing your wages

It seems that every few months another massive Australian business is accused of wage theft.

Coles, Woolworths, the ABC, BHP, Qantas, big banks, major universities...the list of firms found to have not paid workers what they should is expansive. In response, the federal government has introduced new laws starting January 1 next year will make it a criminal offence to deliberately underpay staff, with massive penalties for companies and individuals.

But how do you even know if you’re being underpaid? And will these laws be enough to stop this happening?

On this episode, Bension Siebert finds out more from principal lawyer at Maurice Blackburn, Patrick Turner.
