    The boss of a Christchurch liquor outlet has been fined for under-paying migrant workers

    The boss of a Christchurch liquor outlet has been fined for under-paying migrant workers


    The Employment Relations Authority ordered Nekita Enterprises to pay 90-thousand dollars, and director Harjit Singh to pay a further 35-thousand.

    This is on top of about 21-thousand dollars already received by four former employees.

    Singh's bottle stores were investigated by the Labour Inspectorate, after complaints they failed to pay migrant employees the minimum wage or keep accurate records.

    They were found to have deliberately operated a dual payroll system.

    Spokesperson Loua Ward says the ERA is pleased Super Liquor has exited stores run by Nekita Enterprises.
