Insurance company faces court | Mirage News

  The Fair Work Ombudsman has taken legal action in the Federal Circuit Court against the operators of a South Melbourne-based company that provides insurance for the transportation industry. Yes Insurance Group Pty Ltd and the owner and sole managing director Emma Rita Kimonides are in court. The regulator opened its investigation after seeking assistance from an employee who served as a full-time insurance agent for the company between August and October 2020. A fair work inspector issued a Declaration of Conformity to Yes Insurance Group Pty Ltd in October 2020 after believing the employee had not been paid the wage in the two months and therefore the company had not paid the minimum wage for normal hours as part of the Banking, Finance and Insurance Award 2020. The FWO claims the company violated the Declaration of Conformity, without a reasonable apology, requiring it to calculate and repay the employee's claims. The FWO claims that Ms. Kimonides was involved in the infringement. The FWO made several attempts to ensure voluntary compliance with the compliance notice before initiating legal proceedings. Fair Work Ombudsman Sandra Parker said the regulator will continue to enforce laws in the workplace and bring companies to justice when legitimate requests are not met. "Under the Fair Work Act, compliance notices are important tools that inspectors use when they believe an employer has violated the law in the workplace," said Ms. Parker. “If employers do not meet our requirements, we will take appropriate measures to protect employees. A court can order a company to pay fines in addition to repaying workers. Any employee who has concerns about their pay or entitlements should contact the Fair Work Ombudsman for free assistance. " The FWO is seeking fines against Yes Insurance Group Pty Ltd and Ms. Kimonides. The company faces a maximum fine of $ 33,300 and Ms. Kimonides a maximum fine of $ 6,660. The supervisory authority also requests a court order for the company to take the measures required in the compliance notice, including the full calculation and correction of any underpayments as well as the retirement pension and interest. A hearing on the instructions was held at the Melbourne Federal Circuit Court on May 10, 2021.

Show Me a Good Loser, and I'll Show You a Good Trader

Hall of Fame soccer coach Vince Lombardi once said, "Show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser." It's an understandable feeling in sport where the effort never to fail, never to lose and never to stop is the key to success. There is no benefit in giving up and admitting that you will lose in a sport like soccer. In other endeavors, it is extremely important to admit that you are in a bad position and you are unlikely to get your way. For example, professional poker players fold a significant number of their hands. It is a smart strategy to take a small loss straight away instead of pressing further when the cards are not in your favor. You may end up with some luck if you stay in, but it's not the wise bet. Better to protect valuable capital and wait for a better opportunity. Poker players who fold are not ashamed to fold. It is an essential strategy if you are going to win. It's only part of the process of professional gambling and it helps imp...
