Compliance Targeting Campaigns

The Office of Industrial Relations conducts regular visits to workplaces across the State to provide information and advice about employer and employee rights and obligations under NSW industrial laws.

Inspectors check that staff are being paid the correct rates, that payslips are being issued, accurate time and wages records are being kept and that the appropriate award is on display.

The visits are part of an ongoing educational and compliance program aimed at building fairer and more productive workplaces.

Compliance campaigns: 

Office of Industrial Relations inspectors have conducted extensive compliance campaigns across the state. Over 3 million dollars have been recovered so far this financial year for employees who have been paid incorrect wages as well as non-payment of penalties and overtime.

Inspectors reported that the majority of businesses comply with industrial relations laws. Where breaches were identified, corrections and payments were made promptly in the overwhelming majority of cases.

Industrial relations responsibilities and rights can be checked on the Office of Industrial Relations website or via the following:
