Ken Landau talks with Attorney Christopher Marlboro of Lynbrook, and attorney Marcus Montero, of Hempstead, who discuss "wage theft".  Wage theft is when an employer fails to pay the wages required by law, including the legally required minimum wage and overtime, or failing to pay for the full hours worked. They also discuss what an employee should do if they think they are a victim of wage theft, and how employers can avoid problems in paying employees.

John and Craig look at how writers (and other humans) handle the anxiety of uncertainty, from election nights to green lights. We'll talk through strategies for navigating situations where your circle of concern doesn't match your circle of control. Then we travel back to the 1980s and 90s, when many studios were run by ambitious strivers in their late 20s and early 30s. As the decades have passed, the players in these positions have held onto their posts, leaving the next generation stuck mid-ladder. We discuss what impact the aging of Hollywood has had on its output, and where the new guard might find an opening. We also ask, is development wage theft? And answer listener questions on reusing material written for a different project, and the cost-plus model of production. And in our bonus topic for premium members, what aspects of pandemic life have we incorporated into our daily routines? Links: Scriptnotes LIVE!

Two features from the shop floor this week. First the experience of turning an unsafe workplace into one that is able to support its workers.Last week the 2024 Victoria Trades Hall Council HSR conference addressed the topic of OHS skills for active Health and Safety Representatives. We hear one of the featured workplace stories from the conference.  We follow up with part of a discussion between Autistic disability activist Shaun Bickley with Pryia Kunjan from 3cr Thursday Breakfast about the labour exploitation of disabled people with a focus on the issue of wage theft by Australian Disability Enterprises or ADEs.

Business owners who choose to deliberately underpay workers will face criminal charges from the first of January 2025. The new criminal measures are the latest to take effect, after the Federal Government's “Closing the Loopholes” legislation passed at the end of 2023. But businesses shouldn't be afraid, according to Fair Work Ombudsman Anna Booth. In this episode, the Ombudsman reassures business owners that it must be proven that the underpayment was deliberate. Anna also says that compliance can be straightforward, by following a voluntary code designed to protect those who make honest mistakes. Some of the other resources being made available include an advisory service, self-audit tools, and webinars to help businesses stay on track, avoid penalties, and foster better workplace practices.

Denver's biggest strip club operator, RCI Holdings, sued Denver Labor last week in an attempt to block wage-theft investigators from looking at their internal company documents. The club owners allege that the investigators are using “overreaching and unjustified” subpoenas in an “alarming abuse of power.” But in fact, there are plenty of reasons to believe the workers at these clubs aren't getting a fair shake. Denver Post reporter Megan Ulu-Lani Boyanton joined host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi last year to give us the inside scoop on Denver's precarious strip club industry.  This episode originally aired on August 7, 2023.

Wage theft is a big problem in Denver, and it's getting worse. The Denver Auditor's Office recovered more than $2 million in stolen wages last year, but according to today's guest, that is just a drop in the bucket. Matthew Fritz-Mauer is the executive director of Denver Labor, the division of the auditor's office that investigates and remediates wage theft, which recently deployed its new subpoena power in an investigation into three local strip clubs. He's on today with producer Paul Karolyi to talk about how pervasive wage theft is across a variety of industries, what you should do if you suspect you're a victim, and break down the strip club investigation.  Matthew referenced this Westword article on his office issuing its first subpoenas to three local strip clubs.  Do you think you might be a victim of wage theft?

Soon it will be a criminal offence if an employer intentionally underpays an employee. The operative word is "intentional", says Paul Cott, Principal at Law on Lydiard. The new federal workplace law comes into effect in January 2025. It's important, Paul insists, that business owners stay informed about the correct awards and pay rates, regularly review their compliance, and seek legal advice if unsure to avoid legal risks.
