Red Rooster respond to reports of underpaying staff

Red Rooster releases statement.

"Red Rooster entered into a proactive compliance deed together with the Fair Work Ombudsman in 2012 and accordingly commenced an audit of employee payments made between January 2010 and December 2011," a spokesperson from Red Rooster told QSR Media.

"The audit found that while employees were being paid in line with the Red Rooster Agreement 2009 - which was negotiated in consultation with employee representatives, the employees’ union and endorsed by Fair Work Australia - some of the transitional base pay rates under the agreement did not comply with the subsequent Fast Food Industry Award 2010. This meant some employees were inadvertently underpaid."

Adding, "when advised of the findings, Red Rooster and its franchisees immediately put in place a program to ensure any errors were rectified. We continue to work collaboratively with the Fair Work Ombudsman to ensure this matter is promptly finalised."
