FRENZ Employer Accreditation Solution Quick Quote

Employer Accreditation-Solution Quote Request

The new Immigration NZ 3 check system which comes in from 4 July to replace six temporary migrant visas with one Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV), was designed to be easier, faster and promote Kiwi worker hiring while protecting migrants.  However, at a time when businesses have too much work on already, the three checks- #1 Employer , #2 Job and #3 Migrant – mean more work, new INZ fees and additional requirements to demonstrate that your business is genuine, financially viable and meeting employment and immigration practices.

Fortunately, we can take on that work for you.  If you’d like to find out where we can help, just provide some key information so that we can look at solution options and costs for you.

For example, involving a lot of the same key people, and operating in the same sector providing the same goods or services.

KEY PEOPLE

Key people include company directors, partners, managers, or anyone who can influence your business' compliance with employment or immigration law

EXPECTED VISA REQUIREMENTS

Can you estimate how many migrants will need a visa/variation to work in your business in the next 12 months (new or renewal or variations for workers in NZ or coming from overseas)?

COMPLIANT BUSINESS

Accreditation requires that you are a compliant business. For the first accreditation, the company and its key people must not be on a stand down
not mandatory for this form
This includes being listed on the Companies Office Banned Directors List.

VIABLE & ONGOING BUSINESS

INZ requires that businesses must have sufficient funds to: pay staff wages and salaries, and - pay all other operating costs and expenses, and - purchase inventory (if relevant).
For example, having contracts for work or another future source of revenue.

Employer Check

Application: through an online declaration form which can be completed directly or by an adviser on your behalf

For year one of the check, since INZ haven’t implemented all the requirements, they generally only require the form (unless financial concerns) but include a declaration to compliance with their new ‘non exploitive’ measures which they will likely checking this year but no doubt audit at renewal.

Overview-

  • Must be a genuine business (INZ requires an NZBN for this)
  • Must be financially viable (specific questions to warrant this)
  • Must commit to other compliance measures that will likely be audited over the year, including settlement packs, online course completion by employers and migrants and employment agreements/pay that match and meet employment and immigration law
Job Check

Application – Employers who have been granted accreditation can submit the job check online including the proof of the genuine 14 labour market test and employment agreement (IEA)

Summary –

This is the traditional labour market test on steroids, with additional requirements and scrutiny. Importantly, it is the link between being allowed to hire a migrant and securing visa approval for one.

  • Pay is the new median wage of $27.76
  • IEAs must match advertising and comply with employment law
  • Advertising must run for 2 weeks and be detailed on job description, candidate requirements, minimum and maximum hours, remuneration and accommodation
  • Limits on acceptable reasons for not hiring Kiwi applicants
Visa Check

How to – Slightly trimmed down requirements for visa with pre-completion of labour test via the Job Check. Remaining are health and character requirements, specific employment agreement, documentation and submission.

Gotchas – Candidate experience, skills, etc must match what was approved in the job check.
