The minimum legal rate for cleaning job is $18.40 but it was advertised at pay rates as little as $4.47 per hour in the Korean website Hojunara.


Four out of five businesses advertising Australian jobs on Korean language websites are offering illegal pay rates as low as $4.47 per hour, a new audit has found.

 

Unions NSW identified widespread migrant exploitation and alleged wage theft.

 

The job advertisements studied were randomly selected from webpages Hojunara for Korean language.

 

SBS Korean reported this news on July 17 and 134 facebook users have shown their reactions and 20 people shared the link.

 

Some comments have expressed their embarrassment and disappointment about the news and some said it is not news in the Korean community.
