There’s a bit more to it than that. They also exchange lots of secret data.
How do your new employees safely exchange their personal details with your HR team (probably you!)? Please don’t say email, its just not a safe way to transfer TFNs and other identity documents.

Construction is very broad – it includes engineering services, architects, communications construction, landscaping, retaining walls, swimming pool installation and wallpapering.
Need a hand to get the paperwork in by 28th August? Ask us to help.
