| description | This paper reviews current literature and reporting in relation to vulnerable visa holders, revealing
underpayment and poor working conditions in a number of industries and concentrated among
international student workers. The authors note the current focus in much of the literature and reporting
is on improving the enforcement of rights in relation to hours of work, payment of wages and rights to
termination payments. The paper noted an area of reform not yet fully developed, namely the
enforcement of rights in relation to occupational health and safety and workers compensation
entitlements for visa holders. This paper considers these areas and makes some proposals for reform. |
