WORKPLACE SAFETY

How employers can prevent workplace injuries Australia’s hospitality sector is no stranger to physical hazards, with fatigue, sharp kitchen objects, heavy equipment, heat, open flames and wet floors being daily occurrences across most businesses. Hospitality businesses have a legal obligation to provide a safe working environment for staff under state-based laws overseen by Safe Work Australia. For employers, comprehensive safety has reputational benefits, reduces rates of injury, and improves staff retention. Unsafe practices, on the other hand, can come with significant financial penalties for employers. In 2021, the national median compensation for a serious workplace injury was $55,270 per serious claim[1] and seven weeks’ lost time per employee. Severe cases in some jurisdictions could see unsafe workplaces pay a maximum penalty of $3 million or, in the case of industrial manslaughter, penalties of over $10 million or 25 years imprisonment.

Australian Hospitality Directory Spring Edition 2023

It therefore pays to run a hospitality business that champions safety for all staff and minimises risk of injury at all times.

DON'T FORGET STRESS AND OTHER PSYCHOSOCIAL FACTORS Hospitality workers are often faced with stressful and tiring situations and an employer must take steps to manage the risks of psychological harm. Recently, states and territories have introduced WHS Regulations, supported by Codes of Practice or Guidelines, that require employers to ensure safe systems of work, training and supervision to remove the risk

of harm caused by bullying, harassment, stress, fatigue and other psychosocial hazards. Critical steps for improving psychosocial hazards include planning rosters, ensuring enough staff are on the floor, and having robust processes for dealing with difficult customers. Employers should also take steps to reduce bullying and harassment in the workplace. Sadly, hospitality workplaces are not immune to these risks. In Victoria, the introduction of anti-bullying legislation as long ago as 2011, known as Brodie’s Law, came after the tragic suicide of a young woman, Brodie Panlock, who was subjected to relentless bullying at the café she worked at. Serious bullying is now a crime in Victoria, punishable by up to 10 years’ imprisonment.

WORKPLACE SAFETY

HOW SHOULD EMPLOYERS BEST PROTECT THEIR STAFF FROM WORKPLACE INJURIES? Employers should implement a comprehensive workplace health and safety plan to eliminate or minimise exposure to hazards, train staff, and report incidents effectively. This includes:

• having a clear understanding of your responsibilities and duties as an

employer as outlined in your state’s workplace health and safety legislation • identifying all potential hazards and either removing them or providing proper safety processes, equipment, signage and training • training staff and regularly conducting refreshers on how to safely perform tasks, including by providing adequate supervision. Provide staff with a written safety procedure and obtain their signoff on completion of the training • ensuring all machinery is safely guarded and maintained, and

equipment is used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions • designing workplaces and work processes and providing equipment that limits staff physical strain such as overstretching, twisting, bending and awkward postures • adopt comprehensive emergency management and written incident reporting processes, and train staff to comply with them.

What happens if an employee is injured? Under Australian law, employers are required to have insurance to cover employees in the case that they are injured or get sick as a result of work. To be eligible for workers’ compensation, the worker must:

• be an employee of the business (full-

time, part-time, casual, voluntary or under apprenticeship) • have a medical condition that has been diagnosed by a medical practitioner

• have a medical condition caused by

the work • have suffered a financial loss as a result of their injury. If an employee is injured at work, they usually have six months to notify their employer of the injury and make a claim with their state’s regulator (e.g. WorkSafe Victoria, iCare NSW). This timeframe can be extended to up to three years in exceptional cases, such as if the worker did not become aware of their injury until much later.

The regulator will review the claim and decide whether the injured party is entitled to receive workers’ compensation from their employer. Depending on the nature of the injury, workers’ compensation may cover an employee’s lost wages, cover medical costs, pay a lump sum or pay funeral expenses if the injury results in a fatality.

HELP IS AVAILABLE

Work health and safety laws and obligations vary from state to state, so it’s important to ensure you are operating in accordance with your state’s regulations. Legal professionals who specialise in the hospitality sector, such as Holding Redlich, are available to work with your business to ensure your practices meet all standards required, and keep your businesses and staff well-protected.

UNDERPAYMENTS

How to avoid costly underpayments and payroll issues In recent years, the spotlight has been on Australia’s hospitality industry as a result of major restaurant groups underpaying staff. Most famously in 2019, restaurant group MAdE Establishment was ordered to backpay $7.8 million in wages and superannuation after it underpaid over 500 current and former employees. While underpayments occur in every industry, the reality is it disproportionately impacts hospitality workers, who make up just 7.2 per cent of the labour market but account for more than 25 per cent of all underpaid workers, as uncovered by the Fair Work Ombudsman.[1] This is due to the industry’s high proportion of casual and contract workers, penalty rates and extended

Australian Hospitality Directory Spring Edition 2023

operating hours, as well as high rates of overtime worked. As an employer, you have an obligation under the Fair Work Act 2009 to correctly pay staff according to contract agreements for their hours worked. Employers must also understand that correctly paying

staff is not just about correctly paying wages, but also entitlements such as superannuation guarantee, annual leave, time in lieu or overtime, ensuring adequate breaks between shifts, and more. Having a payroll system that generates accurate time and wage records is critical.

www.hospitalitydirectory.com.au

UNDERPAYMENTS

WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES OF UNDERPAYING STAFF? Underpaying staff can have severe consequences for hospitality businesses and can result in financial penalties, cash flow pressure, high staff turnover and reputational damage. For staff, it can lead to decreased workplace motivation, absenteeism and high stress. In Victoria, where wage theft is a crime, employers can face $1.1 million in fines and ten years prison time.[2]

WHY DO UNDERPAYMENTS OCCUR? t is rare that businesses underpay their staff intentionally. Most of the time, underpayments occur when employers do not understand their payroll obligations or do not have administrative procedures in place to ensure compliance. The most common forms of underpayments and payroll errors we see in the hospitality

industry are: • ‘set and forget’ use of annualised salaries and loaded up pay rates • outdated payroll and timesheet systems • staff working overtime or using penalty rates that are not recorded • superannuation guarantee not being correctly paid

• employees not being paid their

minimum shift requirement • staff taking breaks too late or too early in their shift, causing issues with split shifts • incorrectly classifying an employee or using the wrong award rate.

"REASONABLE" OVERTIME Underpayments often occur due to the expectation that workers receiving an annualised salary should work reasonable additional hours without overtime pay. While this is accepted and common practice, it is only permitted when workers are paid well enough or above their respective

award hourly rate, so their additional pay compensates for the overtime hours. In 2018, the Vue Group came under fire for this when their pay rates of 25 per cent above Award was deemed insufficient to cover the large amount of overtime they expected from workers.[3]

HOW CAN EMPLOYERS PREVENT UNDERPAYMENTS? To protect your business from costly losses, employers can best avoid underpayments by:

• conducting regular audits to catch and

resolve payroll issues early • ensuring staff are classified under the right Award, and regularly reviewing this classification as it can change with staff picking up additional responsibilities • keeping detailed timesheets and pay records to make sure employees are properly paid and have the proof to support it

• ensuring staff are taking appropriate

breaks and using their time off as required • ensuring you are up to date with wage increases, employee benefits and any other changes that could affect payments • establishing accounting practices that correctly pay the employees’ superannuation guarantee. Changes to Awards, vague terminology and a myriad of other factors can make

the process of keeping compliant and properly paying employees unnecessarily confusing. Reaching out for legal counsel is the best way to prevent any misunderstandings and protect your business from the large penalties, bad publicity and increased turnover rate that can follow underpayment claims.

Restaurants and cafes are being targeted: who will be the next victim? (Girardi) Restaurant faces $1m fine for allegedly shortchanging young staff in Australia-first wage theft case (The Guardian, 2022) [3] Vue de monde restaurant staff overworked and underpaid, some former employees say (ABC Radio Melbourne, 2018) [1]

Adande’s patented refrigerated drawers are unique to the marketplace, as cold air drops from above the tub down into the drawer. The cold air is then trapped in the drawer due to the weight of cold air pushing down and won’t spill out of the drawer.
