Your Privacy and Confidentiality

WORKERS understands that privacy and confidentiality issues are important considerations for many job-seekers, and our client companies. We are committed to protecting your privacy. The Commonwealth Privacy Act 1988 sets out a number of principles concerning the protection of your personal information.

Your personal or corporate information is provided by you to us via your interaction with this website.

Your personal or corporate information are used in order to:

• Provide the services you require.
• Administer and manage those services, including charging or paying you.
• Conduct appropriate checks for credit-worthiness.

For the purposes set out above, we may disclose your personal and corporate information to the following organisations:

• Credit reporting agencies.
• Government and regulatory authorities, as required or authorised by law.
• Our Superannuation fund service provider.

Except for the above, we do not disclose or sell your personal or corporate information to any commercial organisation.

In relation to job-seekers submitting a profile to the site, which renders their resume searchable by our registered employers, our database has been designed to only require a very minimal level of personal disclosure. (Note that your payroll-related data, however, is held in a separate area and is only accessible to you and not any third-party).

If need be, our registered workers can be virtually anonymous when submitting their profile to our searchable database. If they so wish, they can call themselves Michael Bloggs or Michael B. There are minimal mandatory fields to complete. If contractors are reluctant to provide a contact phone number, we suggest they provide a Hotmail address, which they can quickly generate on the web.

The other mandatory fields (suburb, availability, expected pay, and skills summary) are not meant to be intrusive. Rather, they facilitate the efficient matching of your presence in the market place with employers who quite often have to move quickly to place a candidate.

Job-seekers should decide for themselves the level of details they wish to divulge about themselves and their work history. Employers need to grasp very quickly the skills set, as well as the employment history/experience of candidates. Including sufficient details in these 2 areas will make it easier for employers to make a choice.

At all times, a list of registered Employers is also published on this web-site. Only these employers have access to view your resume.

In relation to our registered Employers submitting a job advertisement to this site, it will be necessary to provide at least an e-mail address, or a telephone number.

If you have any questions in relation to privacy, please send us an e-mail or telephone us.
