I still don't know what these guys actually sell. Looks like glorified post it notes or some shit.

In an email to staff, provided to the ABC, the company said it was carrying out an urgent review of pay records and was committed to paying back any money owed.

Where fines for underpayment, not just backpaying what was owed?

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Owners of retail stores MillionLife and Mint My Desk have temporarily closed two outlets following industrial action that has seen staff walk off the job for the second time in seven days.

She confirmed the company had closed the Uptown (previously Myer Centre) and Chermside stores from Tuesday to Thursday.

She added part of the reason the company closed the stores was so they could "dedicate ourselves into resolving our employees' concern".

Spokesperson for Mint My Desk staff Louisa McCarthy said two employees had been threatened with being stood down following a second stop work action in Brisbane on Wednesday.

"That's why it's been really good to see the federal government taking action on underpayments and closing to criminalise wage theft in the latest round of changes to Fair Work," Mr Turner said.

For workers who suspect they are being underpaid, he suggests joining the relevant union, getting in touch with Fair Work and considering speaking to a lawyer.


The original article contains 630 words, the summary contains 151 words. Saved 76%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
