| As a result of skills shortages, fluctuating workloads, the changing nature of the workplace, and contingency requirements, an increasing number of companies are making use of temporary employment service (TES) providers provided by our members. While TES Providers provide an important service to the industry, compliance to the relevant legislation and bargaining council agreements is paramount. The TESD (Temporary Employment Service Division) is a Division of the Constructional Engineering Association that was established by TES Providers who practice self-regulation and who stay abreast of the latest legislative developments. They uphold good governance and implement industry requirements. Compliance should be the main consideration when a client chooses a TES Provider. The TESD has a credible, recognised accreditation process in place |
