STAGE 4 Permitted Worker Permits

STAGE 4 Permitted Worker Permits

Victoria’s Stage 4 “Stay at Home” restrictions now requires all residents to carry a Worker Permit if they are required to attend a workplace. Permits must be issued by the employer and must state the permitted service the employee is performing and the location, days and times the worker is required onsite.

Dixon has issued all temporary employees required to work on site with a Workers Permit in line with the scheme. These are temporary employees working in the delivery of a permitted service or for a host employer that is a permitted employer.

Childcare permits

Under Stage 4 restrictons, Child Care is also restrictied, available only to Permitted Workers in posession of an employer issued Child Care Permit. These permits can apply for workers both on site and that are working from home, however they must be a Permitted Worker as defined in the scheme.

Penalties apply for those found breaching permit conditions

If you breach the permit conditions (e.g. if you use the permit to travel other than for the purposes of coming to work) you may be subject to disciplinary action, and potentially be liable for penalties of up to $20,000 issued by the Victorian Government.
The authorities will also be issuing on-the-spot fines of up to $1,652 for individuals who breach the scheme requirements. This includes employees who do not carry their worker permit when travelling to and from work.
Please visit the Department of Justice website and familiarise yourself with the scheme rules.
