Typically, you might give an employee one verbal warning and two written warnings before dismissal. Verbal warnings will often be removed from an employee’s disciplinary record after six months and written warnings after 12 months (if there are no further disciplinary offences).

Can my employer withhold my pay if I quit without notice?

You are entitled to be paid your wages for the hours you worked up to the date you quit your job. In general, it is unlawful to withhold pay (for example holiday pay) from workers who do not work their full notice unless a clear written term in the employment contract allows the employer to make deductions from pay.

What happens if my employer does not take out enough taxes?

No matter your reason for not paying income taxes, you’re almost always the responsible party. If your employer doesn’t take out enough taxes, you’ll likely have to pay them yourself when you file your tax return. However, you have some recourse if your employer deliberately misclassified you as an independent contractor instead of an employee.

Why do I not have enough work for my employees?

So much so, it interferes with the quality of work I produce (I take care of sales for the tour operator and community directly with clients; the employees look after the operational side of things).

What happens if you don’t get paid enough?

There are two major reasons why you should not settle for less pay than you’re worth: You have bills to pay. If you are not getting paid enough, it is likely you are falling behind on bills and this will stress you out. When you’re not paid enough, you are more likely to be less productive at work.

Can an employer be liable for not taking out?

Yes, you are liable to pay tax like everyone else on your total annual income. Yes, you may end up owing the ATO because your employers didn’t reveal your earnings to each other. No, apparently your two employers didn’t collude and share enough of your salary information to avoid this. All good as far as I can see. YMMV.
