Aged and veteran services organisation RSL LifeCare Limited has back paid nearly 4000 ACT and NSW staff more than $5.1 million after it became aware of underpayments made during an 11-year period.
A Fair Work Ombudsman statement released on Tuesday states the organisation self-reported its non-compliance in 2021 after it became aware of the problem when it conducted a self-initiated review during its transition to a new human resources and payroll system.
Underpaid employees were in nursing and management roles at aged care facilities and in-home care programs.
