More disrupters disrupted
Nov 16^th, 2017 at 9:18am

Two companies have each been fined $36,000 after underpaying a Melbourne bicycle courier more than $7000 as a contractor when he should have been paid higher rates as an employee.

Federal Circuit Court judge Grant Riethmuller found the contraventions were deliberate because the Fair Work Ombudsman in 2012 had made it clear to the companies, Z Transport and Boxbay, that their bicycle couriers were employees and not contractors.

The Fair Work Ombudsman took legal action against Z Transport Pty Ltd and Boxbay Pty Ltd after a bicycle courier n his late 20s complained about not getting his proper entitlements.

Fair Work Inspectors found the courier was allegedly paid a low contract rate based on the jobs he performed instead of a higher pay rate and entitlements as an employee. As an employee, he was entitled to receive minimum wages and paid leave under the Road Transport and Distribution Award.

The inspectors found he had been allegedly underpaid $7641 between February and November in 2013.

The courier gave evidence that the underpayment had made it difficult for him to live week to week and resulted in him accumulating significant credit card debt to cover his living expenses. He has since been back-paid as a result of the legal action.

You are clearly quoting from the bible there mate!

Just be careful bogarde.

You are not going to turn religious, on us, are you ?

I hope to God you are. haha Wink

Have fun, bogarde. Grin

Matthew 7:12
Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

"....And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead."

But I should have avoided it for that reason. Bogarde is nothing if not common, which sadly is not something that can be said of many posters here.

Yes, Contra Mundum, nothing wrong with being a man apart from other men.

Particularly if you disagree, with those who are around you.

Muck, is so common, it has little value to us.

Muck, is worth so much less, than salt.

Matthew 5:13
Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

common usage, bible phrases

The salt of the earth
