Job Check & Employer Accreditation
Job Check & Employer Accreditation Overview
In New Zealand, Job Check & Employer Accreditation are essential steps for employers who wish to hire overseas workers under the work visa program. These processes ensure that the employer complies with the necessary legal and employment requirements, making it easier for employees to secure their work visas.
1 Job Check: This is the process where an employer proves that there is a genuine need for a foreign worker and that no suitable New Zealand citizens or residents are available for the job. The employer must advertise the position and demonstrate that recruitment efforts have been made within New Zealand.
2 Employer Accreditation: Employers must become accredited with Immigration New Zealand (INZ) before they can hire migrant workers. Accreditation ensures that the employer meets the required standards of treatment and employment of migrant workers. It is a prerequisite for employers wishing to support work visa applications.
