Generally employers will have to demonstrate they are financially sustainable, compliant with immigration and employment laws and also commit to specific obligations imposed on accredited employers. It is important that employers be familiar with those obligations and have systems in place to ensure compliance.
Employers must become accredited and have a job check approved, before an accredited employer work visa application can be prepared for the staff member. The only alternative pathway for employers to obtain work visas is to use the Specific Purpose work visa category, but these are criteria are narrowly prescribed and this is not an option available for staff members seeking to come to New Zealand for full-time ongoing work.
Some details, including the types of accreditation, have already been agreed while other details of the changes are still being worked on. There will be three levels of accreditation:
Most employers will need standard accreditation. What type is suitable for your business and what documents are needed as a consequence will be dependent upon your business's profile
Standard and high-volume accreditation will last for 12 months initially and then 24 months upon renewal. Employers with labour hire employer accreditation will need to renew this every 12 months.
