Woolworths fined $1.2m for not paying $1m in leave entitlements to 1200 Victorian workers.

Woolworths has been fined $1.2 million for failing to pay out over $1 million in leave entitlements to about 1200 Victorian workers. The supermarket giant admitted its oversight, revealing discrepancies in payment calculations led to some employees not being paid their long service leave entitlements after leaving the company. Woolworths self-reported its breaches to Victoria's wage watchdog in February 2022, which led to a fine of $1.27 million.
