Late nights and early starts with no extra pay
Some employees should be paid more for working outside normal hours.
We built Backpay because too many workers in Australia are being underpaid
Australia's wage system is complicated, mistakes happen
Each year wage theft costs Australian workers more than $1 billion each year.

We're here to right pay wrongs
Most workers don't realise they're being underpaid because it's not easy to spot. It's not money being taken away, it's money you should be getting. Backpay will help you calculate it and recover it.
Overtime worked but no overtime pay
Overtime isn't just staying late. Working more than 38 hours a week or back-to-back shifts qualifies as overtime.
Getting older but no change in pay
Most employees under 21 should get a base rate increase each time they turn a year older.
Missed breaks and no pay to make up for it
Some employees are entitled to extra pay until they actually get their break.
More responsibility but no pay increase
Some employees who supervise and train others might be entitled to a higher classification and better pay.
Sent home early, but not paid the minimum
Many employees must be paid for a minimum number of hours, even if they're sent home early.
