Moore v Parris Hair and Beauty Pty Ltd

Moore, an apprentice, brought proceedings against Parris Hair and Beauty Pty Ltd alleging underpayment of wages in contravention of the *Fair Work Act 2009* (Cth). The dispute concerned a modest amount of wages.

The court was required to determine whether Parris Hair and Beauty Pty Ltd had contravened the *Fair Work Act 2009* (Cth) by underpaying Moore.

His Honour Judge J D Wilson QC found that liability was established. The court noted that the employer had remedied the breach immediately upon being notified by the apprentice. A declaration was made that a contravention had occurred, and the proceeding was adjourned for a penalty hearing.
