From www.claytonutz.com: The Fair Work Ombudsman (FWO) has released a Payroll Remediation Program (PRP) Guide to assist employers in addressing employee underpayments as per the Fair Work Act 2009.

The guide outlines recommended practices for designing a PRP, calculating wages, communicating with affected employees, and the importance of prompt reporting of non-compliance to the FWO.

Employers are advised to review their remediation programs and implement corrective measures promptly to prevent future underpayments while ensuring compliance with the guide’s recommendations.
