Australia: Report reveals wage theft & right to disconnect gaps persist

"Wage theft, right to disconnect gaps persist in Australian workplaces", 15 April 2025

Rippling's survey among 1,000 Australian employees revealed that 43% are still underpaid, accidentally or otherwise, within the past year.

It also found that 26% of employees said their workplace still has no clear policy guaranteeing off-hours protection, even after the implementation of Australia's Right to Disconnect law.

...

Research from Rippling last year revealed that Australian workers are losing nearly $850 million annually due to wage theft, which a new legislation criminalised this year.
