7-Eleven welcomes wages scrutiny

Convenience store chain 7-Eleven has invited the Fair Work Ombudsman to have a look at the in-house underpayment wages claim process it has set up.

Convenience store giant 7-Eleven has invited the Fair Work Ombudsman to review the in-house unit it set up to process wage claims after earlier sacking an independent panel.

Dr David Cousins and Professor Allan Fels had processed hundreds of claims of underpayment since September before they were sacked earlier this month amid concerns 7-Eleven is trying to minimise payouts.

"We are happy to be judged on our actions, and will publicly report our progress as we move forward," the chain's CEO Angus McKay said in a statement on Friday.
