The respondent was given a further 7 days to raise objections to the revised calculations. The applicant has complied with the requirement of the Commission and the respondent has written to the Commission raising issues with respect to the decision. The opportunity provided to the respondent was to review the calculations of the applicant, not to revisit the decision. Unfortunately for the respondent it was unrepresented during the hearing and the issues now raised by it amount to further submissions on issues already determined. The respondent has not challenged the calculations submitted by the applicant. The following order sought is granted. That Wax Artex Pty Ltd pay to Zhanna Swain the amount of $3,662.41 in respect to unpaid wages for the period between 24 September and 17 November 2001. That such amount be paid no later than 22 days from the date of release of this further decision. Appearances: D. K. BROWN, Commissioner. Mr D. F. Cox for the Department of Industrial Relations.
