They will of course, be extended such protection as they have always enjoyed when dealing with Implicor; but certain information as comprises their employment record may not be subject to the NPP’s, but rather the Workplace Relations Act 1996.
1. COLLECTION
We need to collect certain information from you in order to assist us in finding you employment.
We may disclose certain information you provide to our clients in order that they may also verify your suitability as possible employees.
By applying for a job either directly or through the submission of your resume to us for addition to our database; you are consenting to the use of your personal information in this manner.
Further, if you are asked to attend our offices for an interview and/or assessment; you will also be asked to complete our registration form thereby consenting to allow us to use the details you give us.
Of course, you may deny us permission to use your details. We will then either not transfer your details to our database, or should it have already been transferred; we will delete it.
2. USE AND DISCLOSURE
The primary purpose for which we collect your data; is to find you employment. You consent to allow us to do this.
Implicor does not engage in direct marketing to individuals.
Before we disclose your information to anyone we will ask your permission, unless you have directly applied for a particular position in which case you have in effect given us permission to do so. However, Implicor is not obliged to divulge any information about our client to an individual unless they are selected for interview by that client. To do so could prejudice the privacy rights of our client.
We may use your contact details to advise you of other employment opportunities that will arise from time to time, and by providing them you are giving Implicor your explicit approval for this to be done.
We may ask you to provide certain information regarding your health. This will only be required for possible use by our Workers Compensation insurers, and section 79 of the Workers Compensation & Rehabilitation Act 1981; gives us permission to do this.
Any other health information you may be asked to provide, will only be in connection with our primary purpose, and you will be asked for your consent in advance.
If anyone contacts you claiming to either represent Implicor, or claims to have received your contact details from Implicor we must be notified immediately; due to a possible breach of the Act and this policy.
