15.4 Notwithstanding that the Council may issue an Employer with a pro-forma Monthly Return form partially completed with the information of the Employer in the Council's possession, it shall be incumbent upon the Employer to ensure that the information contained therein is accurate, and every Employer shall be obliged to record such amendments on the Staff amendment form as may be necessary to reflect all correct information of the Employer.
