Small employer penalised $5,000 for failure to keep wage & time records…

The Employment Relations Authority has upheld a claim by a Labour Inspector against a takeaway shop owner who failed to produce wage and time records and copies of employment agreements as required by the Inspector.

Several extensions of time were given to provide the details but the records were not produced (except for a few short periods).

The ERA held that a $5,000 penalty was appropriate given the continuing failures to comply with the employer’s obligations.
