Breakfast Roundtable - Employer Sponsored Visas

Hall & Wilcox Breakfast Roundtable

"Employer Sponsored Visas"

Employers who recruit expatriate employees must agree to abide by a wide range of ‘sponsorship obligations’ relating to employment conditions. These include remuneration, record keeping and reporting, monitoring and payment of certain costs. Failure to comply with these obligations can result in administrative sanctions that can severely impact on business operations.

This interactive seminar will:

• explain the differences between temporary and permanent employer sponsored visas
  
• outline the current sponsorship obligations framework;
  
• provide practical suggestions for employment contracts, record keeping and other administrative procedures to ensure compliance with Immigration laws; and
  
• discuss the current review of the 457 ‘work visa’ arrangements and the proposed legislation relating to sponsorship obligations.

This seminar is aimed at anyone currently employing expatriate employees or thinking about doing so.
