FWO turns up heat on court breaches THE Fair Work Ombudsman is beefing up its enforcement policy to ensure court penalties and back payments are recouped, and will take court action where needed to ensure recalcitrant staff pay their fines. The FWO will pursue company directors individually to pay fines and seize cars and property. "What we find is the sad reality of life is that even though the courts makes orders, the orders aren't complied with," said FWO Nicholas Wilson.
