I just got an email from the fair work ombudsman about new employment laws

From 1 January 2025, intentional underpayment of wages or entitlements can be a criminal offence.

Was that seriously not already?

I suspect the 'Ooops, sorry! Dint mean to!' defence was heavily lobbied for. By practically every single employer. Particularly by 'small business'.

No one rorts employees more than "small business". Especially hospitality.
