proper health conditions. The employees involved in the handling of food require washing
hands and fingers thoroughly in order to avoid any infections. The staffs need to dry the
hands using sterilised towels instead of paper towels to prevent recontamination of the hands.
2. Listing requirements to comply with food act in state and local level
In order to organise the local Government requirements as per food act in state and
local level, it is required that the Government of Australia maintain provisions that prevent
the overlapping of the rules in different states. As stated earlier, Australia is a federal
Government meaning that rules of one state cannot be applied in other standards. AIIT hotel
consists of a head chef, sous-chef, chefs and apprentices. Thus, it is required that the state and
local level of the counties engage in employment health that requires maintaining proper
employment rules. The employees need to be paid minimum wages in order to maintain the
satisfaction of the employees. Penalties may apply if the rules are violated in the kitchen.

South Wales Government policies. As per the standards set by the State Government, it is
required that the licensing legislation used for recruiting nine floors and bar staff need to be
licensed under the Liquor Act, 2010. The company need to be legalised under the on-
premises subsidiary license. This provides permission to sell alcohol as a secondary product
of the restaurant. The bar license is also required in order to maintain the business activity of
selling liquor as a premium consumption for the individuals. The licensing need to have a
capacity of 60 seats within the premises for people engaged in the consumption of alcoholic
drinks (Foodstandards.gov.au 2017).

In order to ensure that fines and penalties regarding the payment of taxes are avoided,
it is necessary that the managers of AIIT comply with the payment of taxes. This includes
remaining aware of the due dates that are required to be maintained for the payment of tax. In
this regard, it can be said that the managers need to clear off the dues at the end of a financial
year. This is applicable as the Australian Income Tax Act, 1997 (Unimelb.libguides.com
2017).
5. Listing requirements to comply with National Employment Standards

promise of paying maximum weekly wage. The selection of the candidates needs to be done
in an unbiased manner with leaves given to the employees as fixed annual leave and parental

the people (Austlii.edu.au 2017).

harassment in the workplace. In order to do so, the company have set up policies that prevent
the bullying and harassment of the employees. Penalties may apply to the extent that

(Fairwork.gov.au 2017).

The consistency can be maintained if the managers conduct a thorough checking of the legal
applications that are required for maintaining a successful business.
2. Assistance of these implications

for the smooth running of the organisation. The systems can be used to identify any breach in
the departments of an organisation that does not comply with the working of the organisation.
3. Ensuring ways to remain updated with changes in legislation
In order to remain updated with the changes in legislation, it is necessary that the
managers of AIIT keep information from various sources. These sources include searching
the web, following newspapers and news channels regularly in order to remain updated about
the changes. This can help in providing suitable information to the employees as well.
4. Ensuring staffs remain up to date with relevant information
The staffs can be updated by publishing the changes in the bulletin boards and
conducting a meeting. Managers need to encourage the staffs to remain updated regarding the
legislation by collecting relevant information from the web. Responsibilities at every level
need to be documented by the managers.
5. Documentation used to manage compliance and continuous improvement
The documentation that can be used to maintain compliance and improve on the
activities of the organisation includes formulating contracts that need to maintain restrictions
and policies regarding the improvements. This can be managed by updating the policies of
AIIT and encourage changes in practises.
