Fast food chain Red Rooster has signed up to a national audit to ensure its franchise store workers are not being underpaid.
Red Rooster has joined McDonald’s and Domino’s Pizza in agreeing to self-audit employment records, to ensure 2500 staff working for its franchise outlets are being paid properly, Fair Work Ombudsman Nicholas Wilson said today.
Mr Wilson welcomed the company’s decision to sign a Pro-Active Compliance Deed, saying it showed “corporate responsibility to the thousands of young and casual workers on their payroll”.
Red Rooster has agreed to audit a sample of employment records between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2011, providing a report on its findings to the Fair Work Ombudsman and immediately correcting any underpayments it might discover.
McDonald’s became the first to sign up to the audit in mid-2011, followed by Domino’s.
