新南威尔士州工会敦促62 000名猎人工人核实圣诞节工资,并警告支付不足的风险。 Unions NSW urges 62,000 Hunter workers to verify Christmas pay, warning of underpayment risks.

随着新南威尔士工会发起一项防止低薪的合规运动,正在敦促亨特地区成千上万的零售和招待工人在圣诞节期间核实他们的假日工资率。 Tens of thousands of retail and hospitality workers in the Hunter region are being urged to verify their holiday pay rates during the Christmas period, as Unions NSW launches a compliance campaign to prevent underpayment. 截至2025年2月,该地区零售业有37 000人以上,招待业有25 000人以上,工会警告雇主可能错误地将停业日归类为年假,或未支付超过正常工资两倍的罚款。 With over 37,000 in retail and 25,000 in hospitality employed in the area as of February 2025, the union warns employers may misclassify shutdown days as annual leave or fail to pay penalty rates that can exceed double the regular wage. 助理国务卿托马斯·科斯塔强调,工资盗窃是故意的,不是意外的,并强调工人有权拒绝不合理的假日请求,有权选择提前休假、代用时间或在必要时使用《条例》等办法。 Assistant Secretary Thomas Costa stressed that wage theft is intentional, not accidental, and emphasized workers’ rights to refuse unreasonable holiday requests and use options like leave in advance, time in lieu, or RDOs if needed. 工会组织者正在实时监测工作场所,以解决违规行为。 Union organizers are monitoring workplaces in real time to address violations.
