Migration for Business Growth

 

In November Migration for Business Growth held a seminar on the many important issues that business owners need to be aware of when employing people.  Participants found the seminar very enlightening as the rules and regulations are very different here in Australia to what they were used to. Expert speakers informed the audience of their responsibilities as an employer, regarding Occupational health and safety as well as South Australia's Industrial relations issues.  There was information on making your workplace safe, minimum standards of pay, sick leave, severance pay, and many other standards that you as an employer must abide by. There was also information on Workcover - how it works and what to do if there is an accident. You can view the presentations on our website at

These are very important topics for all business owners as the implications are very serious if guidelines and regulations are not followed. If you need more information go to the relevant agency as shown in the presentation notes. These agencies all have access to an interpreter service so please don't hesitate to contact them if you have any outstanding issues. We will be holding another information session in the New Year so look out for it on the events section of the website.
