Sunglass Hut owes 620 workers $2.3 million
Sunglass Hut ripped off 620 workers by about $2.3 million in overtime wages for more than five years.
TLuxottica Retail Australia Pty Ltd, trading as Sunglass Hut, entered a court-enforceable undertaking with the Fair Work Ombudsman after confessing to the underpayments.
Between 2010 and 2016, Sunglass Hut failed to reach an agreement with part-time workers as required by the General Retail Industry Award, and as a result failed to pay overtime rates for work performed outside regular hours.
