Australian Directors Made Personally Liable; Mexico Enforces Personal Data Protection Rules: HR, Data Privacy and Compliance Updates from Nair & Co.

SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nair & Co., the leader in international business expansion services has released Data Privacy, Compliance and HR updates for companies doing business in Australia and Mexico.

Australian Directors Become Personally Liable for Unpaid Superannuation

The new director penalty regime makes directors personally liable, in case their company fails to make certain compulsory payments or superannuation payments, like tax withholding from employees’ wages. The amendments are introduced to decrease the possibility of intentional fraud by directors, ‘phoenix’ activity, wherein a director accumulates debts in name of the company, liquidates the company before paying the debts, and then forms a new debt-free business entity or avoids payment of the entitled payments to employees.

Mexican Companies Handling Personal Data must Comply with Prescribed Rules

In a recent case, the Federal Institute for Access to Information and Data Protection (IFAI) of Mexico has imposed a penalty on Pharma Plus, S.A. de C.V. (engaged in drugstore operation trade) for breaching the personal data protection law, which came into effect on July 5, 2010.
