Onboarding Foreign Workers and Common Mistakes

Employers who hire foreign workers must make sure that Skills Pass steps are completed at the right time. They must give candidates enough time to finish learning, exams, and bookings before the job start date. If they do not plan for this, delays can happen.

Common mistakes include thinking a candidate is exempt without checking the system, using expired certificates, or not understanding the difference between Phase 1 and full completion. Problems can also happen if candidates have not finished all the required assessments or have invalid certificates.

To avoid these problems, employers should include Skills Pass checks in their onboarding process. They should clearly tell candidates what steps and timelines are required. Employers should not ask candidates to skip or rush steps, as this can cause failure or delays.
