How do we audit our work permit compliance?
Updated
List everyone on a permit, then check for each person that salary, insurance, job title and employer still match the permit, that the expiry is tracked and that the documents are on file. Fix gaps before the next extension.
In detail
- Salary and insurance against the permit terms.
- Role and employer unchanged, or a new permit filed.
- Expiry dates and passports tracked.
- Copies of permits kept.
