Employment Relations -Business Improvement Update
THA -Perdaman Global Services Partnership
As well as their professional consultations and overseas recruitment services, PGS offers several free tools and resources like an online visa assessment form, a skilled migration points calculator, descriptions of different visa subclasses and information for people considering migrating to Australia. The agreement between the THA and PGS and further information can be accessed via the THA’s website by clicking through to the employment relations section. However in general: • Hotels/Accommodation can apply for a five-year company specific agreement giving them certainty on the numbers and types of occupations they can bring in • Membership of THA, TAA, AHA or AAoA is given favourable weighting by the department in consideration of agreement applications • Fine Dining and Restaurants have a similar arrangement that Perdaman can assist with the cost associated with bringing in skilled overseas workers becomes more feasible as the principal benefit of this new labour agreement is that the above occupations now have a pathway to permanent residency. The THA appreciates many of our members are already associated via company directives and working with Overseas Employment Agencies and Migration Agents. This agreement will make it easier and generate a quicker turn around for our industry hotels and accommodation.
In our last magazine we highlighted the Federal Government’s new temporary labour agreement specifically for hospitality providers, which allows approved businesses to sponsor skilled overseas workers under certain conditions. The Tasmanian Hospitality Association is pleased to announce a partnership with Perdaman Global Services (Migration Services) as a recommended end to end service for our members within and across the hotel and accommodation sector. Similar support services for Fine Dining-Restaurants is available if required.
Demand versus Supply
This service is but one arm that can support internal promotion via training or local recruitment and clearly recognises the challenges industry is experiencing with demand outstripping supply. Unless impacted by unplanned Covid related restrictions, all forecasting indications are that the level of visitors via the return of cruise ships plus increased flights will lead to venues experiencing heightened activity and therefore staffing challenges.
