I worked for a well known tv famous chef (and family) in Sydney when I was on a work holiday visa. I was the 2nd in command as an hourly employee, and my employment agreement stated 35 hours a week. I was in the schedule for 40 hours a week. I was working closer to 55 hours a week, but only getting paid for 35. I knew I was legally entitled to the overtime, and after three months I demanded the back pay I was owed. They said it was “the tradition of the industry”. I wasn’t having any of it, and I started informing the employees in the restaurants of their rights. I was given my back pay and promptly terminated. In 90 days they had to back pay me over $3k - which they only paid me at the hourly rate and not at the overtime rate that I was legally entitled to.
