The Fair Work Ombudsman’s latest Compliance Activity Report has shown 76% of the Caltex service network is non-compliant with workplace laws.
Investigations into the network commenced in late 2016 across Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide found employees were being underpaid or not paid at all, cash payments were being made ‘off the books’ and employees were being threatened to have their Visas cancelled for any workers who complained.
Caltex has now announced by mid-2020 all franchise-operated stores will become company operated in an effort to comply with Fair Work regulations.
