The University of Tasmania (UTAS) has issued an apology for underpaying staff and promised to settle the amounts owed to current and former employees with interest.

Jill Bye, the Chief People Officer of the university, said in a media release that the underpayment problem occurred due to inconsistent practice and different interpretations of complex staff agreements that existed across the university.
