A Korean restaurant has been ordered to pay more than $100,000 in lost and unpaid wages, compensation and penalties after failing to pay staff regularly for months. (file photo) From the start, the record of hours worked by staff at JNA’s restaurants, which were unnamed in the authority’s determination, was patchy. However, employees were generally paid on time. That changed when Kim left New Zealand in mid-July 2019 and could not come back due to immigration issues. From that time onwards, neither Ryu nor Lim were paid in full on a regular basis by JNA. Ryu spoke with Kim a number of times while he was overseas about the irregular payments.
