Change to Labour Market Testing – New Requirement For A ‘Continuous Period’ Of Advertising
The Department of Home Affairs has recently announced a change to the policy for LMT. Previously, employers were allowed to conduct LMT over non-consecutive periods to reach the 28-day requirement. For instance, employers could post job advertisements for 14 days and then, after a few days, lodge another round of job advertisements for 14 days to bring them to 28 days in total.
