457 visa - Employer liabilities?


Recommended Posts

Hey guys

 

Just a quickie. Is an employer liable for anything whilst emloying you in Australia other than just providing you with a job?

 

i.e If I defrauded the tax system, could they be fined? If I got sent to prison, could they be fined? etc etc Are they liable for my character sort of thing?

 

This is going to sound like a strange question but this is some of the "examples" my employer was coming out with today to try and make me use a migration agent.

 

Also said they do "background checks" to make sure I'm ok.

 

Shouldn't they have done that three months ago BEFORE they mployed me? lol!

 

Cheers

They are liable for your removal from Australia, if you for instance lost your job or made redundant they are responsible for the cost for you to leave.

 

Also if you decided to go AWOL and so become unlawful they would be responsible for paying your detention and deportation.
