Amandeep Buaal, an accountant, has been awarded nearly $50,000 in compensation by the Fair Work Commission after enduring ten weeks of unpaid wages from her employer, The Fruit Hustle. This financial hardship forced her to sell her family home and relocate to regional Victoria. Buaal, who had worked for the wholesaler for nine years, resigned in November 2025 after repeatedly raising concerns about her unpaid wages with company directors Lon Nguyen and Kayce Nguyen. Despite her efforts, she received no payment from late September 2025, leading to her resignation. The Commission found that her resignation was effectively forced due to the company's failure to pay her wages and the Nguyens' lack of response to her communications. Commissioner Yilmaz awarded her $48,698 in compensation, noting that Buaal is still owed over $55,000 in wages and entitlements. The Commissioner recommended that she pursue her outstanding entitlements through the Fair Work Ombudsman and the Australian Taxation Office, expressing doubts about the Nguyens' compliance with the order.
