ไม่ใช่แค่ลูกจ้างหรือพนักงานอย่างเดียวนะครับ ที่มีความผิด หากทำงานเกินกว่าที่กฎหมายกำหนด หรือถือวีซ่าไม่ถูกต้องแล้วทำงาน เพราะนายจ้างหรือเจ้าของกิจการก็มีความผิดเหมือนกัน ลูกจ้างโดน จับ กัก ส่งกลับ ส่วนนายจ้างก็โดนปรับตามระเบียบ
It is the responsibility of all businesses to employ legal workers. Legal workers are Australian citizens, permanent residents and non-citizens with Australian visas that allow them to work.
Some visas, for example some visitor visas do not allow non-citizens to work while they are in Australia. People who no longer hold a valid visa are also not allowed to work in Australia.
Since 2007 it has been a criminal offence under the Migration Act to employ or refer a person who is not allowed to work in Australia.
New laws will soon introduce civil penalties and infringement notices for businesses that allow illegal work. The law also broadens who can be held liable and provides new evidence gathering powers. The existing criminal penalties will remain.
When the new laws take effect, new penalties will apply where a person allows or refers:
- an unlawful non-citizen to work; or
- a non-citizen to work in breach of a visa condition that limits or restricts work.
However, businesses will be able to avoid penalties by taking reasonable steps to check their workers can be legally employed.
