Misled On Pay |
Claims of potential earnings must be realistic |
A company has admitted it misled a candidate in a job interview about the amount of commission he was likely to earn in the position. |
After the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission took the company to court, the court ordered it to pay the candidate who had accepted the position a confidential sum to compensate him for lost earning opportunity and costs. |
The company also gave an undertaking to the ACCC not to make any unfair representations to interview candidates for equivalent posts for the next three years. As part of this undertaking, it will implement and maintain a trade practices compliance program to make staff aware of their responsibilities. |
