Employer Accreditation in New Zealand
Employer accreditation is an essential aspect of the immigration process for both employers and employees. Accredited employers have met specific criteria set by Immigration New Zealand, demonstrating their commitment to fair employment practices and compliance with immigration regulations.
Accredited employers enjoy several benefits, including streamlined visa processes for hiring foreign workers. This allows them to attract talented individuals from around the world who can contribute positively to their businesses. For employees, working with an accredited employer enhances their chances of securing employment opportunities in New Zealand.
The process of employer accreditation involves meeting certain requirements related to human resource policies, workplace conditions, training programs, and compliance with employment laws. By obtaining accreditation status, employers demonstrate their commitment to providing a safe and fair working environment for both local and international employees.
Job Checks: Ensuring the Right Fit for the Job
Before hiring a foreign worker, employers must conduct job checks to ensure that there are no suitable New Zealand citizens or residents available for the position. This process involves:
- Advertising the Job: Employers must advertise the job vacancy in appropriate channels to attract local candidates.
- Screening Applicants: Employers need to fairly assess all applicants to determine if a New Zealand citizen or resident can fill the role.
- Documenting the Process: Detailed records of the recruitment process must be kept, including reasons for not hiring local candidates.
- Submitting Evidence: Employers may need to provide evidence to Immigration New Zealand to demonstrate that the job check process was thoroughly conducted.
