 Whilst Visa Compliance won’t necessarily be top of mind for senior managers, it is a hygiene factor which needs to be taken seriously.

Here are 6 reasons you should look into it:

**1. Reputation Risk**  
 Immigration now has the ability to “name and shame” employers who are in breach of immigration obligations. Don’t let this be you!

**2. Customers**  
 Large Australian retailers now require all businesses in the supply chain to assure them that staff have appropriate work rights. Without adequate processes, you could lose business.

**3. Loss of Access to Business Sponsorship**  
 Businesses with illegal workers can be locked out of employer sponsored visa pathways

**4. Hefty Fines**  
[Fines range from 18,900 to 94,500 per worker](https://www.vsure.com.au/penalties-employers-engaging-illegal-workers/) found in breach of visa conditions – this can add up quickly

**5. Personal Liability**  
[Company directors and officers can be personally liable](https://www.vsure.com.au/personal-liability-company-directors-officers/) if they are aware or negligent on immigration compliance

**6. Data Matching**  
 Now that we have [single touch payroll](https://www.vsure.com.au/single-touch-payroll-and-work-rights/) and [data matching with the Department of Immigration](https://www.vsure.com.au/ato-audit-20-million-visa-holders-data-matching-immigration/), we can expect employers without adequate compliance processes to get a nasty wake up call sooner or later!

vSure makes it easy to keep on top of immigration compliance – please get in touch if you would like more information.
