The Federal Circuit and Family Court has imposed a $16,650 penalty against Adept Trolly Collection Services, which operated at Kmart sites in Launceston, Burnie and Devonport, and a $3,300 penalty against the company's sole director, Ahlam Osman.
The penalties were imposed due to the company failing to comply with a Compliance Notice requiring it to back-pay five trolley collectors it employed across the three sites from June 2017 and April 2018.
In addition to the initial penalties, Judge Antoni Lucev ordered the company to back-pay the five workers a total of $42,502, plus superannuation and interest, with individual back-payments ranging from $1012 all the way to $20,352.
