PM must act on broken work visa system after shocking wage theft allegations Posted by Migration Alliance on Thursday, August 2, 2018 Indian national Midhun Basi came to Australia on a 457 visa. Mr Midhun says he was paid less than the legal minimum for a 38-hour week, and worked more than 70 hours a week in the restaurant over a period of 18 months. It's estimated by South Coast Labour Council that if the claims are proven Mr Basi could be owed up to $220,000 in unpaid wages. It's also alleged that during his time at the restaurant Mr Basi was required to give cash to his employer which his employer said was to cover rent and bills at the restaurant. This case is the latest in a series of high-profile wage theft allegations in the hospitality industry around the country.
