Tom Karbanowicz was asked to travel distances of up to 200 kilometres as part of his job, but when he asked for an allowance to cover the costs of using his own car, he was threatened with the sack.

Three years after the Fair Work Ombudsman took up his case, his former employer has been fined $9000 and Mr Karbanowicz has just received $3380 in compensation.

"I’m relieved it’s over," he said.

Fair Work Ombudsman Natalie James said on Sunday the court decision should remind employers that it is not acceptable to penalise an employee for querying minimum entitlements.

Mr Karbanowicz was entitled to a rate of 74 cents a kilometre for using his car, but when he asked for an allowance, he was told he “should not expect a good outcome” and if he pursued the matter, “may be fired for causing trouble”.
