Seven Network Class Action
About the Seven Network Investigation
Adero Law is investigating potential employee underpayments at Seven Network affecting current and former employees.
The Seven Network class action investigation relates to employees engaged as 38-hour and 45-hour shift workers, including journalists, camera operators and technical operators, during the period from approximately September 2020 to September 2026.
The investigation is considering whether affected employees may have been entitled to additional payments or other employment entitlements in connection with their working arrangements.
Potential issues under investigation include:
- Unpaid overtime and additional hours worked;
- Work performed outside rostered or ordinary working hours;
- Unpaid or interrupted meal and rest breaks; and
- Potential underpayment of workplace entitlements.
It is currently estimated that approximately 400–500 current and former Seven Network employees may fall within the potential group.
