A labor hire company and its former manager face massive fines after faking documents to hide unpaid workers—150K for the firm, 30K for the ex-manager. They submitted forged pay slips, fake bank records, and phony contracts during a Fair Work audit, trying to cover up underpayment of 14 farm workers, including visa holders. The judge called it “egregious flouting” of the law. Industry leaders say penalties are too light, stressing how vital these workers are—and how vulnerable they can be. The Fair Work Ombudsman is stepping up to protect agricultural workers, especially visa holders, urging anyone with concerns to report—even anonymously—with translation support available. Bottom line: falsifying records won’t fly—due diligence and compliance are non-negotiable.
