The case involved a 71-year-old employee who was born and raised in China working at a "Wok Me" outlet in Rockhampton city, Queensland state, where he was underpaid nearly A$13,000 over four months in 2016 by former outlet owner and operator Luke McGrath and his company, reports Xinhua news agency.
"The significant underpayment over such a short period was a result of the worker not being paid any wages for eight of the weeks he worked," the authorities said.
"Overtime, annual leave and superannuation entitlements were also underpaid and record-keeping and pay slip laws were breached. The worker has now been back-paid in full."
