To qualify for Restaurant R&D, the establishment needs to prove that they are breaking new ground in the culinary field. There exists what is called a competent professional test to determine if a restaurant is indeed furthering innovation.

Key Takeaways:
- A nationwide audit of 891 businesses previously found to have contravened workplace laws has revealed the positive impact of intervention by the Fair Work Ombudsman on employers’ improved compliance.
- The campaign found that 83 per cent of previously non-compliant businesses were now paying their workers correctly, while 81 per cent were complying with record-keeping and pay slip requirements.
- During the campaign, Fair Work Inspectors issued 26 Infringement Notices and 174 Letters of Caution. The Fair Work Ombudsman also recovered $207,990 in back-pay for 485 employees from 132 businesses.
“Fair Work Ombudsman Natalie James said the results show the progress being made by her agency towards creating a culture of compliance with Australian workplace laws.”
