The tender for the railways is going very well, and with the construction of the fourth phase of the Leonora Industrial Site about to begin, Australasia is poised to welcome hundreds of thousands of new jobs.

Thankfully, there is no shortage of candidates for these new jobs. So far, there is no sign of another outbreak of the flu, and the world economy, which has been dormant for more than half a year, has finally recovered.

The first is immigrants from all over the world. After the reputation of the Americans in Europe was completely stinking, Australasia became the first choice for European immigrants.

If the areas that were more popular with immigrants before the flu were the United States, Australasia, Canada, etc., now it is Australasia, Canada, South Africa, South America, etc.

As a direct beneficiary, the number of immigrants in Australasia is much higher.

Despite the impact of the flu, Australasia has added more than 300,000 migrants in the past two months since the beginning of the year, and the increase in immigration is quite exaggerated.

And that's not all, the government expects the number of immigrants to reach more than 2 million this year, and how to deal with such a large number of migrants is a problem.

The 2 million immigrants are definitely a lot, which is one-tenth of the total population of Australasia today, and is close to the population of the capital Sydney and the second largest city, Melbourne.

On the one hand, the creation of more jobs will help these migrants integrate into Australasian life more quickly after arriving in Australasia, without worrying about life problems.

On the other hand, it is to try to improve the treatment of immigrants, so that immigrants can deepen their sense of belonging to Australasia, and even make them actively support Australasia as a country.

In Australasia, the solution to things is simple. Arthur is even just an idea, and there are a large number of people who put it into practice for Arthur's idea.

Since March, members of the House of Representatives have raised the issue of reaming the labour law to protect the rights of Australasian citizens and immigrants.

According to the existing labor laws in Australasia, it is still relatively good to protect the interests of Australasian people.

In terms of the working system, Australasia generally adopts an eight-hour working day, with a maximum of 11 hours per day, no more than 60 hours per week, and one day per week as a rest period.

In addition, working hours in excess of eight hours and additional overtime on all holidays are subject to double pay for overtime periods, which are not deductible and must be paid in full.

These systems look good, but there is no mention of immigration.

Australasia, as a country of immigrants, still has to take into account a large number of immigrants.

Of course, immigrants here refer to those who have decided to settle in Australasia, but are in the period of nationality examination and have not yet acquired citizenship.

Although Australasia lacks a population, it is not for everyone. All immigrants each year must go through a first round of background checks to ensure that there are no revolutionary rebels endangering Australasia's national security.

In addition to this, there is an examination period of at least half a year, during which there must be no illegal acts, otherwise you will lose your qualification to obtain Australasian citizenship.

This nationality assessment system has eliminated at least tens of thousands of unqualified immigrants for Australasia, effectively reducing the crime rate and social harm in Australasia.

After all, Australasian citizens have access to a wide range of welfare policies enacted by the state and the Crown, and these people are far less likely to engage in criminal activities than immigrants.

As for the proposal for a new labor law, it is natural to add these new immigrants and make certain changes to the existing labor law.

The first is the regulation on the minimum wage. In the past, when Australia formulated its labor law, it did not set a clear minimum wage because of the large income gap between emerging enterprises and farmers and herdsmen.

But with Australasia's development gradually on the right track, it is also necessary to have a clear minimum wage regulation.

Australasia's per capita income is above $50 per year, and the minimum wage is set at around $40.

This also means that all jobs in Australasia must have a minimum annual wage of $40 and a minimum monthly wage of $3.3.

Although the minimum wage is lower than the per capita income level in Australasia, there is no way around it.

After all, not all people who work are exactly the same, and for some workers with disabilities or other problems, I can't ask business owners to give them the same salary as normal people.

And the minimum wage is to protect the income of these people, to ensure that their income is not too much lower than the per capita income, so that they also have enough capital to live in this country.

According to the per capita income of Australasia, 40 Australian dollars is also a hurdle for the per capita income of Australasia.

Australasia's labour laws have been accompanied by changes in subsidies for low-income people.

Only households with a per capita income of less than $40 will receive material relief from the Royal Relief Committee.

For less than $40, every $5 reduction in per capita income is also a threshold, and the proportion and amount of subsidies will be higher.

The minimum threshold is a household with a per capita income of less than $20, which is defined as a super-poor family, enjoys all tax deductions, and has high subsidies and support policies.

Grading low-income people is conducive to allowing lower-income people to get more supplies, rather than sharing the same goods equally among people with different incomes.

After all, life in Australasia is much better than more than ten years ago, and families with a per capita income of more than 40 Australian dollars are actually considered well-off.

The per capita annual income is 40 Australian dollars, which is equivalent to 20 pounds, 100 US dollars, 400 marks, 180 rubles, 200 yen and 140 taels of silver. In Australasia, where prices are relatively low, it is not a problem for a family to have enough food and clothing.

In addition to the determination of the minimum wage, the labor law also clearly regulates disputes between labor and assets.

It is forbidden for the capitalist side to default on the wages of the working party under any pretext, including arbitrary deduction of wages, which will be subject to severe sanctions from the labor law.

If it is determined that the malicious non-payment of wages and deduction of wages are true, the capital party faces a penalty of a minimum of $500 and a maximum of confiscation of all property.

Such a severe punishment can effectively reduce the behavior of capitalists in maliciously defaulting on wages.

With the development of Australasia, private capital, large and small, has developed.

This is precisely the constraint on this capital, after all, the capitalist does not obediently pay taxes to the government and pay full or even more generous wages and incentives to the workers, as Arthur did.

Of course, in order to prevent some workers from maliciously causing trouble and even using their own status to obtain improper benefits for themselves, the labor law also has restrictions on the workers.

If it is determined that the worker is maliciously disrupting, the worker will also be fined a minimum of $20 and a maximum of $500, and in serious cases, he will face a prison sentence as determined by the circumstances.

Favoring the people, but not condoning them, is also the main tone of the new revised labor law.

Although the people are a vulnerable group, it cannot be ruled out that some people who are not qualified use their status to seek improper benefits.

Of course, although the term "probationary immigrants" has been added to the labor law, the treatment of immigrants and citizens is still very different.

First, all Australasian businesses are not allowed to arbitrarily lay off employees. If the company is to reduce its staff, it must be notified more than one month in advance, and at least one month's salary must be paid after the layoff, so as to ensure that the person being laid off has enough time to find a job and still have a certain income to support himself when he or she is not working.

This is something that only Australasian people can enjoy, and immigrants do not enjoy this policy until they have officially acquired Australasian citizenship.

At the same time, in order to stimulate all immigrants to become proficient in English, the official language of Australasia, there is also a provision in the labor law, that is, immigrants who master English can receive the same amount of minimum wage protection, and immigrants who do not master English can only get 70% of the lowest income in the labor law.

To put it simply, the minimum wage for immigrants who can speak English is also 40 Australian dollars when they enter the workforce.

But if they don't know English, the minimum wage for these immigrants will drop to $28, which is quite a bit of a drop.

As long as this rule is officially implemented, immigrants will take the initiative to learn English for their own income, even if they are unwilling.

What's more, these European immigrants are still easy to learn English, and the more proficient they are, the higher they can get a higher status in Australasia.

There is a loophole in this labor law that immigrants who do not speak English are likely to steal jobs for people in the country.

After all, non-English immigrants only need to provide 70% of the minimum income, but citizens and English-speaking immigrants need to provide a full minimum income, which is a difference of 12 Australian dollars per person per year.

If you hire a large number of non-English speaking migrants, based on 100 people, you can save $1,200 a year in payroll expenses, which is a lot of money for small and medium-sized enterprises.

In order to prevent this loophole and to protect the rights of domestic citizens and English-speaking immigrants, new restrictions have been introduced in the labor law.

That is, all businesses in Australasia must not employ more than one-third of the total number of immigrants.

Australasian citizens must make up the majority of all business employees, which prevents some capitalists and business owners from exploiting labour laws to hire immigrants who do not speak English.

In order to earn a higher income, immigrants must join Australasian citizenship and obtain all the protections of a citizen under labour law.
