澳大利亚移民部助理部长Cash最近封杀取消了一家印度餐馆的457工作签证担保资格，并且未来5年内都不得再担保海外厨师。
这家印度餐厅的员工每周工作居然是根据每天的营业浮动的，因此至少被少付了4000澳元。这家餐厅还因为没有妥善保存员工工资记录被罚款15300澳元。
据了解，今年的457监控增加了20%，而被移民局处罚的雇主增加了68%，而2014年第一季度发现了199个非法工作人员，这比较2013年同期的55，几乎增加了300%。移民局还派遣签证官去做了1475次实地检查，同期增加了28%
澳大利亚留学网移民服务部建议各位朋友：
如果要担保海外员工，请确保做好记录，按照要求发放工资、养老金和其他福利
作为申请人，切勿作假，工作也一定要遵守工作要求。

Melbourne restaurant punished for 457 breaches
Tuesday, 27 January 2015
An Indian restaurant in Melbourne has had its 457 visa sponsorship agreement cancelled and will be barred from the visa programme for five years after failing to meet a range of sponsorship obligations, including providing equivalent pay and conditions.
One employee's salary fluctuated based on daily takings and another employee was underpaid by more than $4000. Assistant Minister for Immigration and Border Protection, Senator the Hon Michaelia Cash, said the case serves as a warning to other 457 visa sponsors to uphold their responsibilities and act lawfully.
'This action by the Department of Immigration and Border Protection is a result of months of monitoring,' Minister Cash said.
'The business failed to maintain its responsibilities on a number of fronts, including the obligation to keep records, to provide equivalent terms and conditions, and to not provide false and misleading information.'
The infringement notice was issued in August 2014, and included a fine of $15 300 for failing to keep records. In January 2015, further breaches of obligations were found and the sponsorship agreement was cancelled and a five year ban was placed on future applications.
'The Department is constantly monitoring 457 sponsors to ensure they are operating appropriately. Businesses acting in good faith have nothing to fear, but we want to send a strong message that if you breach your obligations, you can expect to face the consequences, including fines and cancellation of your sponsorship,' Minister Cash said.
'The Department of Immigration and Border Protection's last Annual Report shows the number of sponsors monitored in 2013-14 increased by almost 20 per cent compared to the previous year.'
'The Coalition Government's increased focus on compliance is producing excellent results.'
The number of sponsors sanctioned in 2013-14 increased by 68 per cent compared to the previous year.
In the first quarter of 2014 (January – March), 199 Illegal Worker Warning Notices were issued, compared with 55 for the same period in 2013. Equally, there was a 28 per cent increase in field action, with 1475 field actions occurring between January – March 2014.
'Under a Coalition Government, Australians can be confident that the Department of Immigration and Border Protection is adequately resourced to ensure that those sponsors and visa holders found to be breaching their obligations are targeted and appropriate action is taken against them,' Minister Cash said.
