My Department advised this company some time ago that it would be unable to deal with any work permit applications from it until such time as information showing that former employees had received their financial entitlements from their employer was lodged with my Department. Papers purporting to show that the company has discharged the financial obligations to employees were lodged with my Department last week. This documentation is currently being examined by my Department.
