Fitzroy North cafe sprung underpaying more than 30 workers

A popular cafe has been sprung underpaying more than 30 workers.

Mitte, on Michael Street in Fitzroy North, was caught short-changing staff by almost $38,000.

The business has been ordered to pay back the funds, as well as a written apology to all of the underpaid workers.

The Fair Work Ombudsman says the business must also display a notice of its breaches visible to staff in the cafe, and on social media.
