One ex-employee, who asked not to be named as he remained in the industry, said the pay issues stretched back years, with staff working up to 20 hours unpaid overtime a week. He said in the worst example, he worked 110 hours in a week during the opening of a restaurant but was paid for about 70 hours. It was standard for staff to be rostered for a 45-hour week but actually work about 55 hours without any overtime pay, he claimed. Former staff have spoken to The Courier-Mail about their time working for Hamilton Island Enterprises - owned by the billion-dollar yacht racing Oatley family - after the newspaper revealed it was under investigation and in the midst of a Fair Work Commission pay case.
