Recent audits of hair salons and retail establishments in Australia have found many businesses not in compliance with business standards. Most generally these types of businesses employ several workers in the course of a year and some businesses have been found to have illegal immigrants and other issues. A new campaign Fair Work Ombudsman seeks to establish more compliance from business owners over the next twelve months through an audit of these types of businesses.
Key Takeaways:
- Fair Work Inspectors will audit Australian retail outlets and beauty salons to ensure fair working conditions.
- Many retail outlets and salons owe their employees money or have not paid them a fair wage.
- An overall compliance rate of 55% in the retail outlet and salon industry leads to audit.
“The retail, hair and beauty sectors have been selected for audit because they employ high numbers of workers, particularly young people and workers from migrant backgrounds.”
