December 1st is just around the corner- will your clients be ready for the TFW regulatory changes?  Earlier this summer, the Federal Government announced regulatory changes to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (“TFWP”) and International Mobility Program (“IMP”), including stronger consequences for employers who are non-compliant and violate conditions.  The changes, which will come into force December 1, 2015, include: new consequences for violations, including penalties of up to $100,000 per violation and bans of one, two, five, or ten years, or a permanent ban for the most serious violations. 

Discussion will include:

• Details of how the “points system” for assessing consequences of non-compliance will work
• The benefits and drawbacks of making use of the new voluntary disclosure opportunity
• How the new formal opportunity for employers to respond to a Notice of Preliminary Finding works, and the best strategies for responding

Register now to join the discussion on these important changes and ensure your clients are ready to hit the ground running on December 1st!  This is one session you cannot afford to miss.
