A Victorian member of IWUA had a suspicion: that they might have been underpaid by their employer, an auto repair shop in Melbourne. After asking a few questions, and getting no straight answers from their employer, their suspicion grew.
That's when the member reached out to IWUA for assistance, and was assigned a case manager with expertise in underpayments. They reviewed the member's payslips, time records, and other relevant documents to determine the extent of the underpayment. Trust us, you need to love spreadsheets for this job!
With this information, the case manager was able to negotiate with the employer on the member's behalf.
By providing legal representation and support, the case manager helped the member to achieve a fair outcome and secure the compensation they were entitled to. Through a series of discussions, the case manager was able to secure an underpayment of $12,100 for the member!
