What You Get With the Report

Not sure if you need it? Here's exactly what's inside the $39.99 Report — with an example — so you can decide before you pay.

Do you actually need it?

Your free audit said "Compliant"?

You're being paid at or above the Award minimum — there's no shortfall to claim, so the Report won't tell you anything new. Save your money.

Your free audit said "Underpaid"?

This is exactly what the Report is for. It turns your free verdict into exact dollar figures, a 6-year claim total, and a ready-to-use complaint letter — the paperwork you need to actually get paid back.

What's inside

1
Wage Audit Summary

A cover page with your verdict, Modern Award, employment type, and a unique Report ID — proof the figures come from official Fair Work Commission rates, not a guess.

2
Penalty Rate Analysis

If you work weekends, public holidays or overtime, this breaks down exactly how much you're owed for each shift type — Saturday, Sunday, public holiday and overtime rates calculated separately.

3
6-Year Back-Pay Projection

A year-by-year table showing your total claimable back pay under the Fair Work Act's 6-year limitation period — the real number to bring to your employer or the Fair Work Ombudsman.

4
Superannuation Audit

Checks whether your employer paid the correct 12% Superannuation Guarantee on your real wage — underpaid wages usually mean underpaid super too.

5
Your Action Plan

A clear step-by-step: what to do first, who to contact, and how long each step usually takes.

6
Fair Work Complaint Letter

A ready-to-edit letter addressed to the Fair Work Ombudsman, already filled in with your real shortfall figures and Award clause references — you just add your name and contact details.

COMPLAINT LETTER — TEMPLATE PAGE

I am writing to raise a formal complaint regarding underpayment of wages by my employer. I believe I have been paid below the minimum rates set by the General Retail Industry Award 2020...

Yours sincerely,

[Your full name] · [Your phone number] · [Your email address] · [Your address]

How to print it

The Report downloads as a standard PDF file — no special software needed. Open it in any PDF viewer (or your browser) and use the usual print shortcut: Ctrl+P on Windows, Cmd+P on Mac.

Every page is formatted for A4 paper and designed to print cleanly single-sided — including the complaint letter, which is its own separate page ready to be signed.

How to fill in your name and address on the complaint letter

The complaint letter uses placeholders like [Your full name], [Your address], [Your phone number] and [Your email address] where your personal details go. These aren't clickable form fields — the PDF is a document, not a form — so there are two simple ways to complete it:

Print it and write it in by hand

The easiest option. Print the letter, then handwrite your details in place of each bracketed placeholder. This is completely acceptable for lodging with the Fair Work Ombudsman.

Type it in digitally first

Open the PDF in a free online tool like Adobe Acrobat's "Fill & Sign", Smallpdf, or PDFescape, click on each bracketed placeholder, and type your details over it. Save the edited file, then print or attach it to an email.

Once your details are filled in, sign and date the letter. You can lodge it directly at fairwork.gov.au/complaints, attach it to an email complaint, or bring a printed copy if you speak to the Fair Work Ombudsman by phone (13 13 94).
