Popular dumpling chain Din Tai Fung and two of its managers have been hit with $4 million in fines for deliberately underpaying workers and attempting to cover it up. The Taiwanese restaurant chain has been ordered by the Federal Court to pay $3.89 million, while its general manager Hannah Handoko was fined $92,232 and human relations manager Sinthiana Parmenas $105,084.

The company covered up their actions by deliberately creating false payslips, timesheets and providing their staff with the false documents. “The contravening conduct was not isolated, ad hoc or inadvertent,” the justice said. Of the 17 workers affected, 16 were under the age of 30 and 15 were migrants on a range of temporary visas, including student visas. “All of these employees are fairly characterised as vulnerable,” she said.
