7-Eleven: Wage compensation bill may top $100 million

內文：

Convenience store giant 7-Eleven could have to repay up to $100 million in
compensation to more than 2000 past and present employees, with the scandal
looming as the biggest case of wage fraud in Australian corporate history.

A compensation panel headed by former competition tsar Allan Fels is ramping
up its processing of claims, and has called for the government to consider
establishing a permanent wage fairness panel to adjudicate back pay claims in
instances where evidence of systemic worker exploitation is reported at a
particular business.

Professor Fels told Fairfax Media there were 2000 claims from current and
former workers at 7-Eleven that were being processed, with new claims still
coming in.
So far the panel has paid 300 workers a total of $10 million in back pay,
which he says is equivalent to an average payout of $38,000. He wouldn't be
drawn on how much the final payout would be.
But based on the current payout rate, it could be anywhere between $60
million and $100 million.
If the tally tops $100 million it would place 7-Eleven's back pay claim as
the highest in Australia's history, eclipsing the payout of Ansett workers
following the airline's collapse.

'Unfounded guesswork'
A spokesman for 7-Eleven said: "Speculating on the quantum of claims is
unhelpful, is nothing more than unfounded guess work and adds nothing to the
process of remediation. 7-Eleven stands by its commitment that approved
claims will be paid."
Professor Fels' comments come as a report into 7-Eleven by the Fair Work
Ombudsman shows the regulator does not have enough powers to properly crack
down on wage abuse in Australia.
"We do not have power to compel any employer or other witness to participate
in an interview," the report, obtained exclusively by BusinessDay, says.
Unlike other regulators that operate in civil jurisdictions like the
Australian Securities and Investments Commission, FWO does not have the power
to compel employers or witnesses to provide evidence.
The report recommended 7-Eleven enter into a compliance partnership with Fair
Work to ensure wage fraud is stamped out. The report also recommended
7-Eleven set up a guarantee fund to repay exploited workers, introduce
biometric systems to track worker hours and engage an external party to
conduct annual audits. 7-Eleven must also publicly accept its moral and
ethical responsibility to staff, the report says.

Ombudsman's warning
Fair Work Ombudsman Natalie James has also flagged taking on the head offices
of more large companies in an opinion piece published in BusinessDay.
"The law can extend legal liability to individuals involved in the
procurement and to companies further up the supply chain," Ms James warns.
Professor Fels said while tougher laws and penalties would be useful, the
problem of underpayment of wages is widespread in Australia and something
much deeper needed to be done.
He said there was something to be learned from the 7-Eleven compensation
model, which should be considered to be put in law with far less rigorous
standards of proof than is required for the courts.
"I think one of the elements of a solution would be to impose a degree of
liability on the franchisor with payments, without totally discharging the
franchisee's obligations," Prof Fels said.
"Asking franchisors to make up payment provides a more powerful incentive
than fines or even modest court-arranged payments," he said.
"The difference with the Fair Work and the panel is to get repayments you
need to go to court which requires high standards of evidence, the 7-Eleven
model is one where reasonably justified claims are paid, and the size of
outcomes that would dwarf what would be possible in court of law."
7-Eleven has previously said it would cover the first $25 million in back pay
claims and then expect franchisees to chip in 50￠ in the dollar for every
claim over that amount.
Yet both the government and Labor appear to have little appetite for
increasing the powers of the Fair Work Ombudsman.
The Minister for Employment, Michaelia Cash, did not answer questions
regarding increasing the powers of Fair Work while shadow employment minister
Brendan O'Connor said Labor would consider it but only after consultation
with employers.

新聞大意是：

過去幾年澳洲7-Eleven聘用大量國際學生當店員而且薪資遠低於澳洲法定薪資
被澳洲當地的Fair Work Ombudsman(類似台灣勞工局)調查與裁罰

目前澳洲7-Eleven已經賠償300名員工總共1000萬澳幣的薪資補償金(每人約3萬8澳幣)
而現在還有超過2000名7-11的前員工跟現任員工正在申請賠償
預估之後此案總共會讓澳洲7-Eleven賠償金額落在6000萬至1億元澳幣之間
