Starting on 11 April 2024, Immigration New Zealand is implementing tougher regulations to ensure employers stick to the rules when hiring workers. Employers found not to be complying with visa conditions or employing workers illegally will be hit with stricter penalties.
These new regulations mean businesses could face a minimum fine of $1,000. For those who repeatedly ignore the rules, there are harsher consequences. They could lose their status as accredited employers, which is needed to hire workers from overseas. Persistent offenders will also face a temporary ban from hiring migrant workers and have their details added to a public list of non-compliant employers. The aim is to level the playing field for all businesses and protect the rights of workers in New Zealand. These new measures are designed to quickly and effectively deal with minor infractions, ensuring that the majority of employers who abide by the law can operate in a fair and just market. Let's support this initiative by keeping informed and committed to maintaining high standards of employment for everyone in New Zealand.
