Bosses who rip off workers could be jailed and fined tens of thousands of dollars, under a new plan revealed by the federal opposition.
The policy is in response to the scandal that saw workers ripped off thousands by convenience store chain 7/11.
The extent of the systematic underpayment of workers by 7/11 is still unfolding, following extensive allegations against the convenience store chain last year.
Now, Labour has revealed a plan it says will stamp out the practice for good.
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten says big companies like Myer and 7-11 need to be held accountable.
