Penalties —
Under amendments to the Migration Act 1958, it is a crime for employers, labor suppliers, or other persons to knowingly allow a noncitizen who doesn’t have a visa or has violated the conditions of a visa to work or to refer such a person to another employer.
根據1958年《移民法》的修正案,雇主,勞務提供者或其他人,故意允許沒有簽證或違反簽證條件的非公民工作或將其轉介給另一雇主,這是犯罪行為。
Further amendments to the act introduced new and higher penalties. For instance, an employer can be fined even if it employed the worker without knowledge that the worker was undocumented. The employer is liable for a civil penalty of up to
A$15,300 if an individual and
A$76,500 if a corporation. The penalty increases to
A$20,400 and/or two years’ imprisonment for an individual and
A$102,000 for a corporation if the employer acted with knowledge of the worker’s lack of documentation. If an unlawful worker is being exploited through forced labor or sexual servitude, the maximum penalties are increased.
該法案的進一步修訂引入了新的更高的刑罰。 例如,即使雇主在不知道該工人沒有證件的情況下僱用該工人,也可能被罰款。雇主對個人處以最高15,300澳元的民事罰款,對公司處以76,500澳元的民事罰款。如果雇主在知道工人缺乏文件的情況下行事,則對個人的罰款將增加至20,400澳元和/或監禁兩年,對公司的罰款將增加102,000澳元。如果通過強迫勞動或性奴役剝削非法勞工,最高刑罰將增加。
