How to Avoid Problems When Hiring Overseas Staff

In a time where labour shortages are the norm, you’ve finally managed to find overseas workers to fill positions. But there’s just one problem, they’re having trouble applying for a visa.

In order for overseas workers to fill positions in Australia they need a visa and possibly a business sponsor. Seems straightforward, yet it can be quite complex.

Visa applications are easy if you know what you’re doing. Chances are the average person could fill out the basic details but may stumble when it comes to the more intricate information.

Migrants Surviving in Australia – It’s All About the Money

Australia has always been thought of as the lucky country and for those of us who live here it is definitely true. We have great healthcare and education systems, government financial assistance, easily accessible public transport and many other favourable qualities that puts Australia ahead of a lot of other countries. But for migrants Australia may not necessarily be considered lucky for them. While in a lot of cases Australia is a safe haven and a land of opportunity there are some aspects that may let migrants down.

Australian Visa

Why Can’t They Work?

While overseas students are given the privilege of studying in Australia on student visas, they are limited in some aspects, the biggest being employment.

Currently, anyone on a student visa is able to work 20 hours a week when school is in session and as much as 40 hours a week when school is out of session. Postgraduate research students and students who have commenced a masters by research or a doctoral degree in Australia are not subject to employment limitations. Any work that is registered as part of the course is not included in the visa employment limitations.

Holiday VISA

Working Holiday Visas. Everything You Need to Know.

Many tourists travel on a Working Holiday Visa. A Working Holiday Visa allows travellers to visit Australia while picking up employment to either share their knowledge, skills and culture or to earn some extra money.

Businesses can benefit from employing Working Holiday Visa holders. Holiday visa holders can fill positions where there is a temporary increase in demand that doesn’t warrant the employment of a permanent staff member or they may fill a short term skills gap the business may be currently experiencing.

457 VISA

What are the employer obligations for a 457 visa?

One of the most popular routes into Australia is via a sponsored 457 visa. This Temporary Work visa aims to address genuine skills shortages in the Australian labour market by bringing people from overseas who have skills which are in demand.

But employers using the 457 program, must become approved business sponsors and abide by certain obligations set out by the Department of Immigration and Border Protection.

There are penalties for not complying with the regulations. Visa Solutions Australia can guide employers through the sponsorship approval process and advise them of their obligations as a 457 sponsor.
