We facilitate contrition payments to eligible and approved organisations. This helps support initiatives that promote compliance with workplace laws.
Contrition payments
Every year we recover money for underpaid employees through our compliance and enforcement activities.
An employer may make a contrition payment to demonstrate remorse for a wrongdoing. In some cases, employers can elect to make contrition payments to recipient organisations to support initiatives that promote compliance with workplace laws.
Recipient organisations are those that meet set eligibility criteria and are approved by us.
Becoming a recipient organisation
Eligible organisations can now express their interest and seek our approval to become recipient organisations.
You can learn more about the eligibility criteria, expression of interest process and what it means to be a recipient organisation at Contrition payments recipients.
