The employees at two fish and chip shops in Newcastle and Charlestown have been promised back pay totaling almost $40,000.
A total of 21 employees were out of pocket, and the period of underpayment spanned more than a year.
Fair Work inspectors audited the businesses last year after receiving requests for assistance from employees.
Tools to assist employers to comply with workplace laws are available at www.fairwork.gov.au.
Employers and workers can also call the Fair Work Infoline on 13 13 94 to obtain free advice and assistance.
