Employees underpaid

Thousands of Victorian ambulance service staff were paid the incorrect amount of superannuation for more than six years.

Three days after Ambulance Victoria’s chief executive resigned amidst a protracted pay dispute, an external review has revealed about 3000 employees were affected by payment errors between July 2017 and December last year.

Underpayments were below $1000 for most employees.

The money owed, plus 10% interest a year, has been sent to the tax office and will be passed on to staff’s nominated superannuation accounts, Ambulance Victoria said in a statement.
