What HR leaders need to know about the new wage theft laws coming in 2025

I enjoyed sitting down with Jerome Doraisamy on the HR Leader podcast to discuss Australia’s upcoming wage theft criminalisation laws and what they mean for people leaders across the country.

Underpayments are rarely intentional and tend to stem from a lack of ownership and issues between payroll, workforce management and other HR systems, issues that can spiral over time. This issue goes far beyond just cost – even the increased costs employers will face from the start of 2025 – but affects everything from productivity to culture.

You can listen to the full interview here or wherever you get your podcasts.
