Every employer must register as an employer under this Act.

An application for registration as an employer must —

be made in the approved form; and

An applicant for registration as an employer must include in the application every name under which, and address from which, the applicant operates as an employer.

An employer must notify the Board if the employer ceases to operate as an employer under any name or from any address included in an application for registration by the employer.

A contravention of subsection (1), (3) or (4) is not an offence but those subsections are civil penalty provisions for the purposes of the Industrial Relations Act 1979 section 83E.

Subsection (5) extends to a contravention that occurred within the period of 12 months ending on the coming into operation of the Industrial Legislation Amendment Act 2011 section 14 unless the person was charged with an offence in respect of that contravention.

The Board may require an applicant to supply such further information as it specifies in relation to an application under this section and may require any information to be verified by statutory declaration.

On receiving an application made under this section the Board may if it is satisfied with the information in the application —

register the applicant as an employer; and

issue to the applicant a certificate of registration.

Where the Board is not satisfied with any information given in an application the Board may return the application and refuse to register the applicant.

A registered employer who ceases to employ persons as employees may cancel his registration under this section by giving notice in writing to the Board.
