Year end means staff review time for some businesses.
With the end of the year fast approaching, it is important to remind those who employ 457/TSS visa holders, that these employees have been approved to work in their nominated occupations only. While a promotion within the same occupational stream (and any associated salary increase) will generally comply with their 457/TSS visa conditions, a move into a different role must be carefully considered.
If deemed to be in a different occupation, it will be necessary for the business to lodge a new Business Nomination, with any required Labour Market Testing; if a TSS visa holder, also a new Visa Application, to confirm that the visa holder meets the TSS skill requirement for that occupation.
Please feel free to discuss any proposed role changes with your Ajuria adviser to ensure that your visa holders will continue to be compliant.
