Clevedon Road Liquor store owner Satnam Singh Jador has been fined $20,000 and ordered to repay $97,361.66 to four employees for a range of breaches, including not paying the minimum wage for all the hours staff were working.
The Labour Inspectorate noted this case had all the hallmarks of exploitation, due to the workers needing the job to retain their visa status.

Super Liquor Papatoetoe was ordered to pay close to $50,000 for exploiting a migrant worker in February, while over the last 18 months, Thirsty Liquor East Tamaki was fined $1000 and Thirsty Liquor Wickman Way in Māngere was fined $2000, both for failing to comply with employment laws. ....

'Exploitation is my destiny': Migrant workers open up about 'modern slavery' in NZ

Some workers reported working between 70 and 90 hours a week at $8 per hour. A migrant worker on a dairy farm said he worked 32 days straight without a day off, each day lasting up to 14 hours.
Exploitation left people devastated and desperate. Stringer recalls a person who had given up their hopes of residency and was returning to their home country. The person was just broken. They had absolutely given up and this and other interviews were very emotional, they ended in tears. ....
