One of Australia's biggest banks has admitted that almost 66,000 current and former workers were underpaid over a 14-year period.

National Australia Bank (NAB) has already paid back most of the $169million owed to staff, including interest and superannuation.

The Big Four bank underpaid workers across all states and territories as recently as this year, with the issues dating back to 2012, according to the Fair Work Ombudsman.

The affected casual, part-time and full-time staff were employed in a broad range of personal and business banking roles.

The average back-payment was $1,934 but one worker was owed more than $87,000.

NAB first self-reported underpayments to the Fair Work Ombudsman in late 2019 after it became aware of significant errors in implementing its then-most recent enterprise agreement.

It prompted a broad review of employee entitlements that identified non-compliance issues dating back to 2012.

A review in 2024 found that staff were still being underpaid after the issues were not properly addressed.
