Underpayment of Staff

In September 2009, Broadcast Operations was found to have underpaid a journalist and has been ordered to make a $10,000 backpayment.

The journalist, who was studying communications at a Gold Coast University, worked part-time over a two-year period in the newsroom for Tweed Heads radio stations 97AM/103.5FM and 104.1FM was graded as a cadet.

The Fair Work Ombudsman found that the Journalist was performing tasks that would normally be given to a Grade 1, Band 1 journalist under the Commercial Radio Journalists Award.

Famous quotes containing the word staff:

    “In public buildings set aside for the care and maintenance of the goods of the middle ages, a staff of civil service art attendants praise all the dead, irrelevant scribblings and scrawlings that, at best, have only historical interest for idiots and layabouts.”
    —George Grosz (1893–1959)
