Subscriber only Travel giant Flight Centre has been accused of underpaying workers, not allowing adequate breaks and forcing them to attend motivational buzz nights to discuss sales. The Federal Circuit Court on Monday heard the Brisbane-based company allegedly breached provisions of the Fair Work Act by not paying required loadings on overtime and annual leave of up to 200 percent of the base rate. The case is being prosecuted by the Together Union on behalf of five former Flight Centre workers. Former Gold Coast-based sales agent Troy Dorosz said no one left work before 5.30pm even though most of the company s outlets closed for the day at that time.
