Employment Verification Services and Technologies

Remaining in compliance with requirements for verifying employment eligibility is paramount. Employers who violate these laws are subject to significant civil fines and penalties, along with public relations issues and interruptions to day-to-day business operations in the event of an audit. Flawed processes, inadequate record retention procedures, and errors and omissions can heighten your risk.

VisaOntrack
Not only are reporting requirements for companies that sponsor staff on subclass 457 visas time sensitive, but noncompliance can impact the ability to sponsor expatriates in the future. Employer obligations continue well beyond the departure of sponsored staff, and violations can lead to extensive financial penalties, administrative sanctions, business interruptions and reputational damage.

Expat Relocation’s visaOntrack™ tool assists Australia-based companies with reporting and record keeping obligations to the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP). This proprietary, web-based software is tailored to complement business immigration compliance and risk management strategies. Human resource and mobility teams can securely access subclass 457 visa records at all times and extract detailed reporting and statistics to effectively manage sponsored employments.

Features include:

• Dedicated portal that captures all key information required by DIBP
• Compliance with DIBP information retention, reporting and record keeping requirements
• Notification of events related to a sponsored worker or business
• On demand access to records and supporting documents for ongoing management or in the event of an audit
• Online notifications to Expat Relocation of events relating to your business and expatriate staff
• Internal management reporting and alerts
• Continuous updates in accordance with government policies
  

Expat Relocation Employment Verification Tool (EVT)
Employers in the United Kingdom can be fined up to £20,000 per person for employing illegal workers. Complying with the updated requirements of the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act of 2006 is imperative to avoid penalties and manage risks.

Expat Relocation provides a full range of Points Based System (PBS) compliance services and resources, and understands the common mistakes and pitfalls employers face in maintaining employment verification compliance. From this, we developed our Employment Verification Tool (or EVT). This easy-to-use, online tool streamlines and automates the process of determining an individual’s immigration status prior to employment. It is designed to help simplify the process of checking a new employee’s entitlement to work in the United Kingdom, while imposing automated process compliance. Both employees and human resource staff utilize the system to streamline the process of document verification.

Features include:

• End-to-end employee and employer verification process for new employees
• Annual work status checks for applicable employees
• Online document upload and storage
• Searchable database of verifications to assist in the case of a government audit
• Continuous updates to reflect any changes in government requirements
