Is This Information Going to be Relevant to me?
Must be met by ALL businesses that have been trading in Australia for over 12months, who apply for approval as sponsors under the 457 program.
What is the training benchmark?
The purpose of the training benchmark requirements requires employers to demonstrate they are investing in training for Australian employees before they are permitted to sponsor overseas workers.
The difference between benchmark A and BA. Employers pay 2 % of payroll (incurred in the
last 12 months) expenditure to an industry training fund related to the employer’s business.
B. Employers spend 1 % of payroll (incurred in the last 12 months) on training their Australian citizen or permanent resident employees.
How is payroll defined?
• “Amount of Money an employer pays in wages to their employees in a 12 month period”
• Contracts & Subcontractors?
What is considered training?
• Paying for formal course of study • Employment of apprentices or trainees• Employment of person/trainer who trains
