Training Benchmark B

Training Benchmarks no longer exist since the introduction of the Skilling Australians Fund (SAF) Levy in August 2018. However, there has been some confusion about Training Benchmark requirements and if companies are still required to comply. An approved business sponsor who has currently employed anyone who is on a 457 visa or anyone who is on a 482 visa, application for which was lodged on or before 11 August 2018, is obligated to meet training benchmark requirements.

Training Benchmarks has two options, Training Benchmark A and Training Benchmark B.Training Benchmark B requires that Australian businesses who sponsor individuals must expend 1% of their gross annual payroll on training staff who are Australian Citizens or Permanent Residents.

Your client must submit proof of meeting this requirement for renewing their status as an approved business sponsor. Your client must also submit an auditable structured Training Plan as part of the sponsorship application which outlines clearly how they intend on training the Australian staff. At McKkr’s, we provide an obligation-free auditable structured Training Plan at no cost to all your clients.

Though the objective of this scheme is to train Australians, non-Australian employees can also be trained under this obligation as long as Australians are included in the training when the training is delivered to non-Australian employees. They can be employed by a company on full-time, part-time or even on a casual/contract basis.As part of our services we also offer a free report on relevance of training for the business,which may be crucial for the success of the sponsorship obligation and on-going compliance, Contact Us today.

Training Benchmark B is only 1% that is half the expense of Training Benchmark A. Training Benchmark B gives businesses the opportunity to upskill your own employees and improve workplace productivity, which adds direct value to the bottom line of the business.

Less staff turnover means more gains from not needing to train new staff. Businesses will be able to retain strong employees while saving on unnecessary recruitment costs. You can depend on ethical, prompt, professional and transparent services from McKkr’s to help your clients meet their Training Benchmark obligations.
