A bottle shop in Auckland has been ordered to pay $46,000 after exploiting a migrant worker.
Basra and Khella Limited, trading as Super Liquor Papatoetoe, was fined $18,000 by the Employment Relations Authority and ordered to pay more than $28,000 in arrears to the former worker.
The breaches included more than $25,000 in unpaid wages and more than $3000 in unpaid holidays and leave allowances.
Labour Inspectorate sector lead Loua Ward said the authority heard the worker was commuting six days a week from their home in the North Shore to the bottle shop in south Auckland, where shifts would regularly last for 12 hours and were often unpaid in full.
