Wages unpaid

Nosh has been ordered to pay just under $3500 to a former employee over unpaid wages. The Employment Relations Authority (ERA) ordered the upmarket supermarket chain to pay $3402, plus interest of 5 per cent per annum from June this year, and $71.56 in filing costs. Merchandiser Jonathan Kubiak joined Nosh in August 2015. Kubiak claimed in June this year Nosh did not pay all of his owed wages including annual leave and holiday-pay entitlements. Nosh did not dispute the claim. No one from the supermarket chain was present at the ERA’s investigation meeting. The authority found Nosh to have defaulted in payment to Kubiak.
