I had a brief discussion today with them, they did say (orally) that this is to prevent resources switching frequently, Though didn't go into legality of the clause, just put other points like i already have my IELTS, and worked with other ex-employer for longer which puts me very close to the required points ext.. ext.. ...and finally they have agreed to remove the clause. Thanks for ur advice, thoughts nd time.

Yes fines up to 5k Aud Went thru the doc guess they can't restrict me this way not to apply PR r levy fines And thanks for the 457 rights link.. It boosted my confidence to put a firm foot forward for this PR condition

ya their intention is resource retention. planing to talk and workout something. I do want to go ahead with my PR in near future that's y the dilemma.

ya true not intending to sign, I am gonna talk to them I wanted to make sure if they can even put such a restriction.

Thanks, I kind of have same thoughts not signing Will talk to the employer about this clause.

Hi, I recently switched employers in AUS and new emplyer filed a new 457 Now the new employer is asking me to sign a agreement saying i should not apply for PR while i work for him. Just want to know if this is allowed or legal?

the agreement says - I cant work for any of 'A' 's AUS clients -cannot take or help any one else move from 'A' to 'B' (basically to any A's AUS clients) and i am not gonna breach this -only valid if its legal else the clause is severed if breached it says they would workout a penalty and or withhold in part r full my final settlement for which ever clause i broke that are still legal.

hmm ok thanks I have worked in US before and was told these types of restrictions are not legal there. unless the client or the company he/she is moving to has any issues.

hmm ok thanks.

Hi I am currently working with contractor 'A', and contracted to a client. Now a new contractor 'B' would like to hire me to work for the same client (better pay & client switching from contractor 'A' to 'B') and the client is ok with it. But 'A' has a clause in my work agreement that I shouldn't go back and work / contract to the same client within 60 days of my last day with the client under 'A'. Want to know if this clause is valid and can 'A' impose such restrictions legally. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks

hmmm ok thanks.. i will look more into the IELTS / OET....

Hi first thanks for the clarity on same SOL lists nd ya i have min of 7 in each in my IELTS section. but my field of study & Area of Work are different , I have Masters in Electronics & Computer Engineering (from USA) with specialization in Computer networks. I heard some say if area of work and field of study are not same then experience would be deducted and i would end without those 5 points. That's the reason trying to dip into partner skills.

we haven't yet applied based on our calculations of my education (Graduate), work experience (4 years), age (26-32), ielts score (7 overall) its only 55 and need 5 more

I am also looking for answer to this question but we both are in SOL, can I claim my partners skill point?

Hi All, I have similar question on partner skills, We are going starting our 189 process. we are clear on most of the points, But we have a doubt on the point "a suitable skills assessment in a nominated occupation on the same Skilled Occupation List used for your application." I am belong to ANZSCO Code 261112 - System Analyst and my partner is a 261311- Programmer Analyst both assessing authority is ACS and both of our occupation is in SOL. would we be able to get 5 points or should we both in same code in SOL.
