CHCLEG001 Work Legally and Ethically legal implications. You must comply and adhere to policies and make sure that you are qualified to perform the job. At any stage that you are not trained or not competent in performing the task you must immediately inform the supervisor in charge.

When a position becomes vacant and an employer is advertising for a certain position, a duty statement is created by consulting legislation, service standards and policies relevant within that job role. It is the employer’s responsibility to make sure that they fill the role with the correct person that fits the legal requirements in that job role, making sure that you have the skills and the knowledge and the correct qualifications to perform the job.
