      • Accredited employers

        Help to become accredited

        All employers who are wishing to employ an overseas worker must now be accredited with Immigration New Zealand. This law came into force on the 4th July, 2022.

         

        The Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) has also been introduced to consolidate several existing visa types, streamline the work visa application process, and prevent the exploitation of migrant workers.

         

        Once accredited, businesses will have a straightforward path to recruitment and two years of breathing space before they need to reapply for accreditation. One of the main benefits of accreditation will be faster processing of work visas with less bureaucratic red tape.

         

        NZ Jobs Search can manage the accreditation process for employers and help avoid disruption and delays to the hiring process.

      • Requirements for accreditation

        To become an accredited employer a business must be genuine and meet the following requirements

        Financially Viable

        Be financially viable, not have a loss over the last 2 years, have a positive cash flow each month for the last 6 months and have enough capital or external investment for their business to remain viable, or have a credible 2 year plan to ensure the business remains viable

        Human Resource Policies

        Have human resource policies and processes in place, and which meet a high standard

        Workplace Practices

        Have good workplace practices, including a history of compliance with New Zealand employment and immigration law

        Clear Commitments

        Show a clear commitment to employing and training New Zealand citizens and show that they make up a significant part of their workforce.

        Cover Costs

        Pay all recruitment costs and not pass the costs on to the migrant workings (not including airfares)

        Settlement Support

        Commit to settlement support by giving migrant workers information about working and living in New Zealand

      • Employing an overseas worker on an Accredited Employer Work Visa

        There is a new 3 stage process for hiring a migrant on the Accredited Employer Work Visa - the employer check (accreditation), the job check, and the

        accredited employer work visa migrant worker check.

        The Employer Check

        An employer seeking to hire someone from overseas will need to become accredited. The requirements for accreditation are detailed in the section above.

        The Job Check

        Immigration New Zealand will check that the employer made an attempt to employ a New Zealander for the job. The job will also need to pay market rates and comply with employment law.

        Accredited Employer Migrant Worker Check

        If the first two steps are successful, Immigration New Zealand will then give permission to file the work visa application. Immigration New Zealand will also verify that the work visa applicant has the skills and experience for the job being offered.
