Australian Xemplo customers can optionally activate the Xemplo VEVO Checking service which will check a worker's eligibility to work in Australia using the Visa Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO) service offered by the Department of Home Affairs (DHA).
VEVO Checking involves securely sending a limited amount of personal information for a worker to the DHA to establish the worker's legal rights to work. The DHA will securely return Work Rights information for a requested Worker to Xemplo for HR to review and action.
If you are sent an Onboarding request that includes a VEVO Check that must be completed before you can start work with your Employer, you will need to consent to the check and provide the required personal information. You will not be able to continue the Onboarding process until the VEVO Check has been completed. Once the check is completed, you will receive an email confirmation from Xemplo and can continue your Onboarding if successful.
Please note: Not all Onboarding requests will include a VEVO Check. If your employer does not require a check, Xemplo will automatically skip this step of the Onboarding process.
If your Employer is conducting a VEVO Check as part of your ongoing employment, you will not need to provide any additional information. Your employer will regularly perform the required check and contact you if there are any issues requiring clarification.
Completing a VEVO Check during Onboarding
If your Onboarding requires you to complete a VEVO check, you will be presented with a consent screen after you accept your contract. You will need to consent to the check to continue the Onboarding process. If you do not consent to the VEVO check, Xemplo will send an alert to your employer who will contact you and may withdraw your offer of employment.
To consent to the Work Rights Check, select the Authorise and Continue option.
Adding personal information required for a Work Rights/VEVO Check
Once you've consented to the check, you'll need to provide the required personal information. The personal information provided will be sent to the checking authority securely online.
