The POLICY GUIDANCE NOTES are intended to clarify the responsibility of the Work Permit administrator (WPA, WP Administrator, Administrator).  They explain what the Department expects from the Administrator and what the Administrator can expect from the Immigration Department.  Employees have certain obligations to the Department, the Management Team, fellow Employees (as internal customers), customers and the general public.
