Issue staff registration cards

You are required to give all registered personnel a registration card that meets the specifications in the Employment Agencies Rules 2011.

All EA personnel are required to show their registration card to clients and allow clients to take down any information on the card. Failure to issue the card in the prescribed format is an offence.
