for the smooth flow of company in the well define manner. There different aspect which covers

aims and objective (Armstrong, and Taylor, 2020). The present report is based upon social
license in which company use to operate the firm effectively. Beside this it also describes about
the primary source which are used to safeguard the employer position in a well define manner.
Apart from this, social legitimate and managerial power is used to determine the employer
position which is useful for the company.
Main body
A social license provide authority to operate the business activities with the assistance of
stakeholders and local communities of the organization. This has evolved with the notion of
social corporate responsibility as well as acceptability (Boxall, P and Purcell, J. 2016). The main
reason behind social licensing is not only regulatory permission is essential but social permission
is crucial for the firm in order to run business smoothly. This is considered as outcome which
companies use to manage their image and also able to provide effective services to consumer.
For example, with the assistance of licensing company use to improve their labor practices and
employer can develop a sustainable business model for the company. Having license help to run
democratic jurisdiction without the support from the government institution and with the
different agencies. This does not refer to any kind of formal agreement or documentation but also
increase current liability which is essential for the firm.
Social legitimate congruence among the social values which are associated and imply to
increase the acceptable behavior in the large system. The two-value system which is used to
manage the operation activity are the part of social legitimacy. On the other hand, managerial
power refers to the position of the top-level management which are used to manage the work
effectively. There are different kind of power which are used by the employer to carry forward
the operation activities in smoothly manner. However, some employers misuse the power which
lead to wage theft (Morgeson, Brannick, and Levine, 2019). The company have to follow all the
rules and make sure to provide all the necessity wages to their workers as in result in will help in
increasing productivity and provide better exposure in the market. This is crucial to meet the
corporate governed and also ensuring that all the executive in the well define manner. such kind
of power are mainly in the hands which provide all extra benefits and it is the reason which
provide all the decision which are made to achieve desire aims as well as objective for the
company.
The wage theft cost workers millions of dollars every year. Beside this there are several
laws which are made by the to prevent such kind of fraud the employer use to conduct wage theft
for their personal benefit. From the employer and employee association there are different
government inquires in order to review the minimum wage (Thornthwaite, and Sheldon, 2019).
There was different flexibility, including all kind of gig workers and the labor hire were at stake.
In order to company the social licensing has been escalated to some extent. The company is
using different sources which are used to manage the work and they are able to reduce such theft.

The employer in companies uses wage theft which in result bring down the moral and
demotivate the employees to achieve the desire aims and objective of the company. one of the
primary crimes of wage theft are often done the employer where the workers does not get the full
amount of their work as per the norms. Often employer pull of by paying for the smaller number
of working hours which is not paid, and they legally required to pay overtime or for stealing tips.
There are some of the workers which face some serious crisis for the firm.
There are some smart ways through which employer take the paycheck and cut the salary
which reduces all kind of money from the workers. This method makes more complex for the
employee to understand the fraud. This way they deliberately mislead the workers as to avoid
higher paying for the company (Berman and et., al., 2019). For example, the employer asks to
worker to work overclock and cut down lunch break as this consider as theft. In the recent case
Amazon is been sued for not paying the workers for the amount they spend on lengthy security
checkpoint. The people who are affected by the company wage theft have been expand in the
recent years. Their nation which are developed are using such kind of theft to gain more profit.
The big companies tend to have more chances of wage theft which reduce the trust from the
workers.
The primary source of information which is gathered is from online which clearly defend
the employer position. The prime source which is taken is Australian chamber of commerce and
industry which indicate that employer is not responsible for the wage theft because it is the need
of company to expand and grow which requires funds. Hence to satisfy the need of society which
requires more infrastructure and provide better support to expand the business effectively. Apart
from this it also indicates that for the sustainability in the company people use to manage the
entire operation which help in providing better support (Stewart, and Brown, 2019). This indicate
the reason for the existence which provide the business community with the greater voice and
provide better public debate which describe the direction of Australian society.
Another primary resource is business council of Australia which provide all the essential
information which is used to maintain entire operation which help in increasing the productivity.
This provide authority to cut tax rates and moves as to strength the Australian enterprise to
Bargain the system. This help in providing better opportunity which help in increasing the desire
result which state the company desire outcomes and scenario effectively (Hardy, 2020). For the
employer there are some restriction which are faced, and company use to follow all kind of
aspect which in result provide effective result. The bar council have some certain criteria which
comes and provide all the essential to overcome the operation and they are liable to use different
sources effectively. The employer is bound to take such step because to operate the business
strategies while making profit and this is vital for the firm to manage the work so my keeping the
cost. This association also indicate that there is different project on which company work and
require funding, so the employer is liable to follow all the rules which are followed by the
company.
Secondly, according to employer representatives, trust is fostered when they play an
important part in the design and administration of the apprenticeship system. This association are
made to protect the interest of the employees which are engaged in the industry. As there are

different norms which are used to manage the entire operation this is vital for the firm to manage
the cost and provide better support to employer. Apart from this, employer is also the part of the
company they are bound to follow the desire outcomes which is used to fulfil the needs of the
organization (Boon and et., al., 2019). They are used to provide better aspect which is used to
maintain the requirement and use to follow the entire operation as per the management. The
policies of labor and wages are drawn by the top-level management and they responsible for
providing better sources so this vital for the employer to follow all the rules as per the company
norms and standard. So, this to manage the entire operation which is used to describe the result
effectively which help in managing the company effectively.
CONCLUSION

essential which used to manage the company environment effectively. There are different ways
through which company use to cut the wage of employee. The wage theft has become more
common and to avoid such activities their different association which help in reducing such cost
