Leanne Lazarus and Ben Wheeler are excited to invite you to our first HR Forum for 2025.

As of January 2025, deliberately underpaying an employee’s wages or entitlements is considered a criminal offense. The Fair Work Ombudsman has stated that they will investigate suspected criminal underpayment cases and refer appropriate matters for criminal prosecution. If convicted, individuals could face fines, imprisonment, or both.

This makes it essential to put measures in place to reduce the risk for both your organisation and its individuals, starting with your contracts and awards. Jonathan Mamaril from South Geldard Lawyers will discuss the legislation, explain its implications, and share his expertise on the processes and procedures you need to implement now to safeguard your organisation from a Human Resources perspective.
