Status
On Watch — active documented Adverse Flag within 12 months (ASX release, 9 September 2026).
The composite unit
The confidence, the counted reports, the verified count and the estimated headcount are part of this number the way a decimal point is part of a number. They are never stripped, never abbreviated and never separated from the figure. If a surface cannot carry the whole unit, that surface shows no number at all.
ACME Pty Ltd did not apply for this score
ACME Pty Ltd did not apply for this score, earn it or receive it as an award, and it cannot display it. There is no seal, no certificate and no badge. The score is imposed on every employer we can evidence, and it is universal.
II
Flags · T3 documentary evidence only
Every flag rests on a document.
A flag may rest only on the public record — a court, tribunal or regulator finding, a statutory register, or something the company published or filed itself. Every string below carries its source and its date inside the string, because a screenshot strips everything around it.
Adverse and Favourable are told apart by form, never by hue
Filled tag and solid spine against outlined tag and hatched spine, plus the words themselves. Both are set in the same ink, so the distinction survives a black-and-white print.
Nothing that rests on worker reports appears in this section.

Pillar breakdown · Eight pillars, canonical order
Eight pillars, each with its own sample.
Length is quantity and form is confidence. The ink never changes, so no pillar is coloured better or worse than another. A pillar below its reporting threshold shows no number at any size or in any tone.

IV
Public record · T3 Documented, T3-R Reported
The record, with the source inside every string.
T3 Documented originates a flag. T3-R Reported is somebody else’s reporting: it may corroborate, date or locate a T3 artefact, and it may never stand in for one.
- T3 — Collective redundancy notification, 4 February 2026: 340 roles.
- T3 — FY25 annual report filed 12 September 2026: dividend up 11% on FY24.
- T3 — ASX release, 9 September 2026: office attendance policy changed to four days.
- T3 — Company careers page, 11 August 2026: 62 roles advertised in functions named in the February notification.
- T3 — Company careers page, 9 September 2026: salary bands published on all advertised roles.
- T3-R — Reported by The Daily Ledger, 12 February 2026 — corroborates the February notification and does not originate a flag.
- T3-R — Reported by Freight Weekly, 14 September 2026 — corroborates the attendance change and does not originate a flag.
Context · non-scoring material
Context never scores. It does not move this number in either direction, it does not excuse conduct and it does not aggravate it.
V
What we don’t know · Absence is displayed, never inferred
A thin record is a thin record, never a clean bill.
What is missing is published in the same place as what is present. An absence of evidence is never rendered as a good result.
The gaps in this profile
- Fair Treatment & Voice is not scored. 4 reports is below its reporting threshold, so no number publishes for that pillar and its weight is not counted in the number above.
- No reports from warehouse night shift.
- No pay data for part-time or casual staff.
- The public record is far richer for large listed employers than for private ones, so a thin record is a thin record — never a clean bill.

Right of reply · Free, permanent, unpaid, published verbatim
The reply, at the same prominence as the number.
Every company gets a free, permanent right of reply. It is never edited, never behind a payment and never prioritised by payment.
The company’s reply
“We accept the notice period on the office attendance change was shorter than our own policy requires, and we have extended the transition to six months for affected staff. We do not accept the characterisation of the February restructure: the roles advertised in August are in a different function and at a different level. Our full response, including the consultation record, is on our careers page.”

Alternatives · Companies like this one
A number is no use to anyone without somewhere else to go.
Comparables are matched on sector and size band, and each carries its own complete unit.
Names only, never logos
There are no affiliate links, and the selection criteria are published so the comparison can be checked rather than trusted. A company with too few reports appears as it is, with no number at all, rather than being quietly left out.

Method and caveats · Rubric v1.2
What produced this number, and what it cannot tell you.
The method is published in advance, in full, and every change to it is published before it takes effect.
The method behind this profile
- Counted reports: 14. Verified: 6. Evidence window: 1 October 2024 – 30 September 2026. Rubric v1.2.
- Tier mix: T3 5 · T3-R 2 · T2 6 · T1 6 · T0 2. The 14 counted reports are the T2, T1 and T0 rows (6 + 6 + 2); the T3 and T3-R rows are the seven public-record items.
- Publication cohort. 1 July – 30 September 2026, published 8 October 2026. A cohort is frozen at publication and its denominator is never quietly restated.
- Response rate. 14 reports at an employer estimated at 900 staff is 1.6% of the workforce.
- Self-selection. Workers who choose to report are not a random sample of the workforce.
- Movement between quarters is shown as band movement, never as point deltas.
- Pillar weights sum to 100 and are fixed for the life of rubric v1.x. A pillar below its reporting threshold leaves both sides of the calculation — its weight is not counted and it is not scored as a zero — so this number is the weight-weighted mean of the 7 pillars above that did score.
