Important Compliance Considerations – Compliance with Employment/Recruitment Legislation and Providing an Abuse-Free Workplace

When employers think of their compliance obligations with respect to the employment of temporary foreign workers, most employers think of their responsibilities to the foreign worker specifically – the requirements to pay temporary foreign workers the correct wage, provide them with the benefits promised to them, ensure that they work in the positions offered to them, and allow them the correct amount of vacation. While these are certainly important and central aspects of employer compliance with immigration regulations, these are not the only bases upon which an employer may be found non-compliant.

Employers may also be found to be non-compliant when certain situations arise that may or may not impact the temporary foreign worker directly. These situations include an employer’s failure to comply with employment and recruitment legislation, and the failure to provide a workplace free of abuse.
