Australian retail giant 7-Eleven has been found to be systematically paying its workers about half the minimum wage at stores around the country.
Key points:
7-Eleven employees worked twice as long at half the pay
Investigation found three out of five stores underpaying staff
Overseas students systematically underpaid, threatened with losing visa
A joint Four Corners and Fairfax investigation has uncovered evidence of collusion between some of the owners at hundreds of stores across multiple states.
Former employees have told of being made to work twice as long as expected at half the rate of pay, with some earning as little as $10 an hour.
