| A Sydney Ugg boot retailer has been fined more than $10,000 for paying a young overseas worker just $8 an hour instead of the standard $22 hourly rate to which she was legally entitled.
Ever Australia Pty Ltd – which makes and sells ugg boots under the 'Ever UGG' brand – has been fined $8500 by the Federal Circuit Court.
Legal action by the Fair Work Ombudsman has also resulted in the company's operator and majority owner Yue Hua Liu of Strathfield being fined an additional $2550.
The Fair Work Ombudsman said Liu and Ever Australia had admitted short-changing a Chinese national $4222 over a two month period last year.
