Right to Work in Australia
If you’re a compliant employer, you know that it’s up to you to make sure that your workers are legally allowed to work in Australia. You also know that’s sometimes easier said than done. With Scantek’s automated verification, you can check a person’s right to work in minutes.
Visas Can Be Complex
An employee’s right to work could look different every six months, depending on their visa. Your valued employees who are not Australian citizens will have varying types of work visas. Details can differ in terms of:
- Conditions: they may only be allowed to work for specific industries or in specific regions
- Restrictions: they may only be permitted to work for a set number of hours, or once studies have begun.
- Duration: they may require reassessment after a given timeframe
And, of course, non-permanent visas have expiry dates. Without timely renewal, you could find yourself with illegal workers on your team and not even realise it.
VEVO is accurate but slow
The Australian Government’s VEVO (Visa Entitlement Verification Online) system is the only authority for checking a person’s right to work. Unfortunately, it presents hoops to jump through, like permissions and registration.
But checking a worker’s right to work is essential. The last thing you need is an infringement notice or penalty fine. Company fines can climb into tens of thousands of dollars per illegal worker.
What if there was an easier way?
Scantek is an Australian Government Gateway Service Provider, which means we have direct access to government databases for document verification. We can do Right to Work checks directly from the database. Our authorised access combined with digital processes is the easier way.
Automation simplifies screening
Our system is fully digital. Once we have your job candidate’s details, no human input is needed for authentication.
Here’s how that benefits you:
