The four women, who spoke very little English, had been underpaid the minimum wage, casual loading, and penalty rates between October 2015 and June 2018.
They also did not receive super payments over the same period.
Two of the workers were underpaid their overtime rates, while another was not paid out the annual leave they were owed when their employment ended.
