So I get that I will have to pay a backdated fee for work permits not paid for. Are you saying this will be in ADDITION to that?
I had an employer jerk me along in a similar fashion for a few years and then when the job finished still no WP, so technically I also had a $100 per year retroactive fine but I just got my new employer to sort it for me

Can someone tell me what the fuck retroactive means?
Do you know what "retro" means? Then do you know what "active" means?

Then you put those meanings together and we have retroactive!

Teacher, by any chance?
I am. And my brain is fried for the day. I'm strongly considering teaching them to jump out of a window.

On a serious note, my main question is, has anyone done it within the past year or two, because I've heard the rules have changed and you have to pay a considerable amount. Someone mentioned a "friend" being here just two years and having to pay an extra $600. But Chinese whispers are alive and well.

If anyone actually has personal experience please let me know.

I know one who had $500 to pay for five years missed WP so he just got a new passport and swerved the fines entirely by applying with the new one through an agent just six months ago

If you apply for your WP within the renewal period 1st Jan - 31st Mar, there is no fine for previous years, just the retroactive WP fee for those years on top of this years WP fee.

If you apply outside of the renewal period, then yes there are fines...so make sure to apply during the renewal period only.

There have been no changes.

Do you know if they've happened to change the rules in the last 10-15 years? I know a fella who's been here since 06' and he's claimed that he's "grandfathered in" and doesn't require a work permit

Haha, no such thing. If he's working/owns a business he needs a WP, and will have to pay the retroactive fees for every year without.

Can someone be clear whether these are just standalone fines or are they fines on top of having to pay for the missed years of not having a WP?

Considering a WP is considerably more than $100 when done through an agent (because it's a PITA to do it yourself via the website) and if all you have to do is pay $100 for every year you've not had a WP, where is the incentive to get a WP? You may as well just miss a few years, eventually pay the $100 for every year you've missed, and still be quids in because you've either not had to pay the agency fees or you're paying the same amount as you would have done if you'd have done it yourself.

Or just lump your next employer with it, if they are too cheap to pay it, reconsider working with them

Works for me

The issue is that if the MoLVT conduct an inspection of the workplace, anyone found to be working without a WP will be fined and face possible deportation, the employer who employed those without a WP will only get a small fine and a slap on the wrist.

It's pretty fuxking simple...if you want to work in a foreign country, do so legally by obtaining the necessary permits (correct Visa EOS and WP)... it's not difficult or expensive.

This thread's only mildly amusing... Nowhere near as funny as the "How to Pay Tax" one.

-> Easy to say for them, and now what ? will they pretend you never worked there, or pretend the person in charge of your file quitted a while ago ?

they now FINE you for not paying previously

-> It would be the logical conclusion, yes.
Better gear up you best excuses and find who is responsible for the delay at your previous school, and make them pay.
Not too sure it's possible to skip that part.
The owner. The general maganger. They're fucking incompetent so I expect they'll tell me to fuck off and I'm confident I won't have a leg to stand on??

Always get everything in writing
