Hardware giant Bunnings has blamed a coding error in its payroll system for underpaying superannuation to a number of its Australian staff for the past nine years. The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald understands that, excluding compensation, most affected workers are owed less than A$200 (NZ$214) in unpaid super. SCOTT HAMMOND/STUFF Bunnings would not reveal the full amount it had underpaid its Australian workers. Jewellery chain Michael Hill, apparel retailer Sunglass Hut and celebrity chef George Calombaris are others that recently were found to have underpaid staff millions. "Employees with concerns about unpaid superannuation should contact the [Australian Taxation Office] in the first instance," the spokesperson said.
