工作40小时未获报酬 国际留学生诉雇主求偿20万澳元

Prateek Sahni, 23, has alleged a Subway manager did not pay him for more than 40 hours work at the fast food outlet in February and required him to do heavy labouring work for him at a property, also free. He is seeking penalties that could exceed $200,000.

据2009年8月24日《The Age》报道，一名23岁的国际留学生因工作40多个小时而未获工资，将雇主Subway快餐店告上法庭，求偿20万澳元。

据悉，外国留学生往往成为雇主欺压的对象，特别是在零售，餐饮和清洁等行业。此外，试用期间未获报酬也是最多投诉的普遍现象，在绝大多数情况下，试用期间不付工资也都是违法的，除非事先约定为义工和只获取工作经验。

这种现象也发生在华人雇主和留学生新移民雇员身上，而且并非个别。无良雇主需要三思而后行！
