An Australian University is facing further legal action over allegedly underpaying casual staff and making false or misleading records.
The Fair Work Ombudsman announced on Feb. 10 that it had commenced legal action against The University of Melbourne over what the watchdog describes as “serious contraventions” of the Fair Work Act. The Ombudsman alleges the university breached the Act when it failed to pay 14 casual staff at the hourly rates required under its enterprise agreement.
