From 14 September 2009, all 457 visa sponsors (i.e. employers) are required to meet new sponsorship obligations.
Now, if you want to sponsor a worker under the Subclass 457 visa program, you must provide evidence to the Department of Immigration that you will pay the worker at market salary rates (i.e. equivalent salary rates to non-457 workers).
Example
Josie is a 457 visa holder and works for you as a tool maker. Other tool makers employed by you who have equivalent qualifications and experience as Josie are paid $48,000 a year. Therefore you must pay Josie $48,000.
