Wage Compliance Post Coles/Woolies and Pay Day Super

Since 1 January 2025, intentional underpayment of wages or entitlements can be a criminal offence under the Fair Work Act. Most weeks, we read about a business that is under scrutiny for just that.

The Federal Court findings involving Coles and Woolworths have underscored the importance of accurate salary arrangements, robust payroll systems and proactive compliance practices.

The commencement of Payday Super from 1 July 2026 means employers now face increasing scrutiny in how they manage employee wages and entitlements.

In this webinar, Tamsin Lawrence, Director, and Dominic Mather, Senior Associate will unpack the latest wage and super compliance developments, examine the key lessons from the Coles and Woolworths proceedings, and share practical steps to help employers identify risks and meet their obligations with confidence.

Watch the recording today and help ensure your organisation is prepared for increased scrutiny of wage and super compliance.
