9 Jul 2025 Well Sushi LimitedWell Sushi (New Zealand): 30,000 NZD penalty for minimum wage and holiday breaches New ZealandMinimum wage and undeclared work €15,350

On the application of a Labour Inspector, the Employment Relations Authority (New Zealand's employment relations tribunal) ordered Well Sushi Limited to pay a penalty of 30,000 NZD to the Crown. The company had admitted failing to pay an employee on a work visa the minimum wage for all hours worked, miscalculating his annual leave, public holiday and sick leave entitlements and failing to keep complete time and wage records; arrears totalling 53,940.03 NZD had already been paid under a settlement. No penalties were sought against the co-respondent Hutt Food Limited because the time limit had expired.

What organisations can take from it

Incomplete time records are not a mere formality: they lead to incorrect wage and leave calculations – particularly for employees on work visas.
