Late last year we told you that Intergate is busy developing an online system specifically for corporate clients. Now we’re proud to tell you the finishing touches has been added and it’s ‘all systems go’ on our Foreign Employee Compliance System (FECS).
FECS makes your life simpler
FECS ensures your ongoing compliance with immigration law and enables you to meet all your legal obligations with respect to your foreign employees easily and effectively. Most importantly, these obligations include ensuring that each foreign employee holds a valid passport and valid visa endorsed for work at all times.
Here’s how FECS works
FECS has been designed to keep an up-to-date, comprehensive list of all foreign employees together with:
- Copies of passports, visas and permanent residence certificates.
- IRP5 documents.
- Full job descriptions, to prove that employee’s position is consistent with the conditions stated on the visa
You’ll get notifications and reports:
- Visa and passport expiry reminders well in advance for employees and accompanying family members.
- Internal confirmation when a new employee is loaded on to FECS.
- Weekly risk reports summarising all upcoming visa and passport expiry dates.
FECS also sends the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) the necessary notifications:
- FECS notifies the DHA per email when a foreign employee leaves your employment. This email is recorded as proof of your compliance with this requirement.
- FECS notifies the DHA should a foreign employee not commence employment at all, again attaching the necessary documents and recording the email as proof of compliance.
