I got offered work at a local factory for $15 an hour. I knew this was under the award, but accepted on account it would be temporary. After I got there, I found out all the workers were being paid $15 an hour. Some for three years and at lower rates like $10 an hour. They were not paid Super from what they told me. This also included one worker that acts as a Office manager, does taxes and carpet cutting etc.
While the job was cruisey, I couldn't work there knowing illegal things were happening, so quit today. Last week the owner also told me to "move furniture". This included a couple of suitcases and bags that I did not know the contents of. I may just be paranoid, but this was kind of the last straw… Apparently there are networks of people who do this kind of trafficking! I just thought to warn other people to be careful.
Op isn’t going to complain to anyone. OP said that they were paid below minimum wage and didn’t receive super. It would be fair to think that OP looked the other way because they didn’t report this income to Centrelink.
