Arbeitsrechtliche Strafzahlungen wegen nicht konformer Dienstplanung

Definition

Australian scheduling solutions emphasise that they help pubs, clubs and other shift‑based employers stay compliant with the Fair Work Act, National Employment Standards and modern awards by automatically applying award pay rates, penalty rates and maximum shift rules, and by generating audit‑ready reports.[1][3] This positioning implies a real and material risk of non‑compliance when these calculations are done manually. Fair Work Ombudsman enforcement actions across hospitality routinely involve large back‑pay orders plus civil penalties when employers underpay penalty rates, fail to give proper breaks or exceed maximum hours; while individual case amounts vary, hospitality underpayment cases commonly reach tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in back‑pay across staff. Using a conservative logic estimate, if a bar or nightclub underpays 10 casual employees by only AUD 40 per week each due to mis‑scheduled penalty shifts or missed breaks, this is ~AUD 20,800 per year of back‑pay exposure, plus potential civil penalties that can exceed AUD 16,000 per contravention for individuals and higher for companies under the Fair Work Act.

Why This Matters

The Pitch: Bars, Taverns, and Nightclubs in Australia 🇦🇺 risk AUD 50,000+ per venue in back‑pay and civil penalties when manual shift scheduling leads to systematic award underpayments. Automated, award‑compliant rostering and time‑and‑attendance drastically reduces this risk and compliance workload.
