1. SCOPE
1.1 Functional Definition
A message specifying details of decisions of the governmental
agency to an employer relating to a work grant request or
permit for one or more workers.
1.2 Field of Application

single work grant request message.
A Work Grant Decision Message is transmitted from the
governmental agency to an employer.
A Work Grant Decision Message contains detailed information
about the worker, the detail of the decision, the acceptance or
the rejection and the reasons for the decision in case of a
rejection. A Work Grant Decision Message may contain the full
textual information of the decision.
A Work Grant Decision Message also contains information of the
profession and the place of work.
A Work Grant Decision Message may also contain information and
decisions relating to work grant requests for one or more
workers.

4. MESSAGE DEFINITION
4.1 Data Segment Clarification
This section should be read in conjunction with the Branching
Diagram and the Segment Table which indicate mandatory,
conditional and repeating requirements.
The following guidelines and principles apply to the whole
message and are intended to facilitate the understanding and
implementation of the message:
All specified dates and times should be in the format 'yymmdd'
or 'hhmm' unless all parties involved in the transaction agree
that there is a functional requirement for an alternative
format. Periods should be specified as whole numbers
representing the required period as indicated in the format
qualifier (weeks, months, etc.)
Where a choice of code or text is given only the code element
should be used wherever possible.
Conditional data that is not required in the message should not
be included.
Care must be taken that the segment qualifier in dependent
segments do not conflict with the segment qualifier of the
trigger segment of a group.
