Bistro business facing $40,000 in penalties for underpaying cook

A former bistro business is facing $40,000 in penalties for allegedly underpaying a cook his wages and entitlements.

The Fair Work Ombudsman is also seeking a court order requiring the employer to back-pay the worker in full.

The alleged underpayments

Facing court is Grant Goldsmith, who used to operate the Spinnakers Brasserie at Point Frederick at Gosford NSW until last year.

Fair Work commenced an investigation as a result of a wage theft complaint from the cook.

An inspector suspected Goldsmith failed to pay proper minimum wages in addition to 20-hours of personal leave taken when the worker was injured last year.

Fair Work subsequently issued Goldsmith with a Compliance Notice, requiring him to calculate and back-pay the cook his outstanding wages and entitlements.

The regulator alleges he failed to so, however.
