Practice question
A recruiter promises that a worker may recover only if the foreign employer voluntarily pays, and that the recruitment performance bond cannot answer even after a covered award. Which statutory protection defeats that promise?
- The statutory solidary liability and bond security for covered money claims cannot be displaced by that private limitation
- A private promise overrides all worker remedies
- Foreign location makes every award unenforceable by definition
- The bond automatically becomes the recruiter’s unrestricted personal asset
- Only the employer’s goodwill creates legal rights
