Advertiser Code of Conduct

Employers and Agencies should:-

• Avoid any practice or activity that could reasonably be foreseen to bring PositionsVACANT into disrepute;
• Comply with all relevant Australian laws, including privacy, fair trading, trade practices and anti-discrimination laws;
• Avoid asking questions that may breach discrimination legislation such as those relating to a Job Seekers gender, religion, sexual preference or other information that is not relevant to the position being advertised;
• NOT use applications to gather personal details for other Employment agency databases; and
• Ensure conditions offered are the same as those stated in the Vacancy. Failure to do so may be a breach of the Trade Practices Act 1974 and can be referred to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission for investigation.

Vacancies entered may be subject to screening. The Vacancy may be checked to ensure they satisfy these Conditions and are suitable for public viewing. Information that is considered false, misleading, offensive or unlawful will not be displayed and will subsequently be removed from the system at the discretion of PositionsVACANT. The User responsible may be refused future access to this service and the matter may be referred to the appropriate authority.

It is unlawful to transmit material that is considered offensive or is misleading. The User responsible will have details passed onto the appropriate authorities.

Display on Third Party Sites

By advertising on PositionsVACANT you expressly consent to your vacancy being advertised on Internet sites other than PositionsVACANT as well as displayed in Third Party products/services which are designed to attract job seekers to your ad.

Vacancy Requirements

To the best of their ability, Advertisers should endeavour to ensure that vacancies they lodge on PositionsVACANT provide the following:

• A clear and accurate description of the nature of the work, including details of the service or product involved;
• Information about remuneration. At a minimum the industrial arrangement must be stated eg Award, Certified Agreement, Australian workplace agreement, Enterprise Bargaining Agreement. Where possible it is best practice to provide the name of the award/industrial arrangement and the indicative salary range or hourly rate.
  • If income is to be negotiated an indicative salary range or hourly income range must be stated.
  • If salary is commission based the rate of commission is to be stated including a retainer if applicable;
  • Government pensions are not acceptable forms of remuneration;
• Expected vacancies must be flagged as anticipated vacancies and an anticipated start date must be entered.
• Vacancies should state either a set number of hours the employee will work or minimum hours an employee could expect to work.

You should also

• lodge vacancies only when there are definite Employment opportunities;
• Clearly state if the remuneration for a job is other than wage/salary (eg where remuneration is by commission);
• Clearly identify Independent Contracting or Sub Contracting business arrangements in the Vacancy, under Description.

Unacceptable Advertisements

PositionsVACANT reserves the right to classify any Advertisement as unacceptable for display, including those that could bring PositionsVACANT into disrepute. Examples of such Advertisements are:

• Vacancies which contravene Commonwealth and/or State/Territory legislation (eg. discriminatory vacancies);
• Vacancies which contravene these Conditions or Business Rules;
• Vacancies which involve activities, products or services which may be considered offensive, illegal or misleading;
• Vacancies involving any form of nudity or work in the sex industry;
• Training courses;
• Pyramid selling schemes;
• Vacancies which do not provide full details of the job, product or service involved;
• Vacancies which require promotion of gambling or gambling websites;
• Vacancies where the contractual arrangements are not covered by Australian law; and
• Vacancies which do not clearly specify any costs to be incurred by the Job Seeker.
• Multi-level Marketing, Self Employment, Business Opportunities.

Multi-level Marketing, Self Employment, Business Opportunities.

PositionsVACANT has a primary goal of matching Employers with qualified staff. Opportunities for Multi-Level Marketing, Self Employment, Business Opportunities and Commission Work do not qualify under this objective because the vacancy does not exist as an Employer/Staff relationship.
