Compliance / Compliance activity over the next 4-6 months will focus on Help, Education and Support
- Ensure all big ticket items are in place post July 1 2015: Certification/Induction
- Understanding that some employers may not be ready post 1 July 2015
- ATO needs to know how to put strategies in place post July 1 2015
- Message form Employer “I am not ready- can I have an extension?”
- As long as the employer can be seen to be moving in the right direction towards compliance/ having a timeline for implementation.
- ATO won’t go heavy handed just yet as long as employers are on track.
Focus:
· Compliance activity over the next 6 months
· Systems issues
· Analysing metrics and commonalities - regional areas to target rather than individual compliance management
· Individual compliance action to start by end of October 2015 – this gives a chance to allow 2 periods of processing – then able to address who is trying to do the right thing. / Chris Denney
