Two Brisbane massage parlours have been hit with more than $100,000 in penalties for failing to back-pay two massage therapists thousands of dollars.
The operator of the Brisbane City Thai Massage and Day Spa and Heavenly Asian Massage parlours in Brisbane's CBD was penalised $97,000 in the Federal Circuit Court this week.
The business manager was penalised $8000 for contravening record-keeping and pay slip laws and failing to provide the employees with a Fair Work Information statement at the start of their employment.
