Immigration New Zealand confirmed that employers can no longer use 90-day trial periods in employment agreements when hiring foreign nationals on an Accredited Employer Work Visa.
Key Points:
• Immigration officials will decline or request updated information if an AEWV job check application includes an employment agreement with a trial period. • The 90-day trial period rule does not apply to migrants who already hold, applied for or were approved for an AEWV job check prior to Oct. 29.
BAL Analysis: The change is designed to treat foreign workers more fairly and ensure labor needs and skills gaps are filled. Employers may lose accreditation status if they include a trial period in their employment agreements.
This alert has been provided by the BAL Global Practice Group.
