Overview (Program Summary)
A program hosted by:
ACC AustraliaImmigration compliance is a sleeper topic for many in-house counsel. A large number of Australian organisations are simply unaware of the legal framework which applies to local businesses with regard to employing visa holders. Despite being relatively unknown, the implications for businesses could not be more significant, these include:
• the requirement to ensure that all employees and contractors have the right to work in Australia
• a positive obligation to take reasonable steps to inform staff of their legal duties
• strict liability offences with criminal and civil liability for company officers
During the webinar Hammond Taylor presenter, Jackson Taylor will:
• explore the immigration law framework
• examine the obligations on employers
• consider how employers can take appropriate steps to meet these obligations and mitigate risk
• oversee implementation of appropriate policies and verify compliance
Join us to discuss an area of law that many organisations overlook and one that every in-house counsel should understand.
