CHEMIST Warehouse (CW) has reportedly paid almost $3.6 million in back pay owed to employees for time spent doing online training outside of rostered hours.
A Fairfax report highlighted the issue, quoting CW spokesman Damien Gance saying a routine audit had uncovered the mistake which had since been resolved.

Chemist Warehouse pharmacies are not currently Guild members.
