245AYA Overview
          (1) This Subdivision provides for the Minister to declare a person to be
              a prohibited employer for a specified period if:
                (a) the person is subject to a migrant worker sanction; and
                (b) no more than 5 years have passed since the person became
                    subject to that sanction.
          (2) Sections 245AYE to 245AYJ set out when a person is subject to a
              migrant worker sanction.
          (3) While a declaration is in effect, a prohibited employer must not:
               (a) allow certain additional non-citizens to begin work; or
               (b) have a material role in a decision made by a body corporate
                   or other body to allow certain additional non-citizens to
                   begin work.
          (4) After a person stops being a prohibited employer, the person must
              give the Department specified information about certain lawful
              non-citizens who the person allows to begin to work in the 12
              month period after so ceasing.
