(Removes reference to $270 mln figure in headline. Corrects 2nd paragraph to clarify the cost is for combined underpayment, not only for ALH.)
June 23 (Reuters) - Australia's Woolworths Group Ltd WOW.AX said on Tuesday employees at its pub and hotels group ALH Hotels had been underpaid and the cost to remediate them would eat into its full-year operating profit.
Woolworths, one of several companies which have recently admitted to underpaying workers, said it now expects to repay about A$390 million ($270 million) for underpaying salaried ALH staff in 2018 and 2019 as well as for previously announced underpayment of its supermarket workers.
