  • how to check their pay and get help with underpayments

The website also helps small business employers with:

  • an overview of employment obligations

These new resources complement the WA Government wage theft website at www.wagetheft.wa.gov.au which assists Western Australia workers with how to seek help with resolving an underpayment issue or report wage theft anonymously.
