Immigration New Zealand announced the extension of the 90-day trial period to all employers except accredited employers using the Accredited Employer Work Visa.
Key Points:
Additional Information: Government officials recently issued a new requirement for labor hire (triangular) employment firms who place migrants in specific construction occupations. The new requirement states that these employers must have at least 35% of the labor hire workforce made up of New Zealand citizens and residents in full time employment, which represents an increase from the previous threshold of 15%.
BAL Analysis: These changes are designed to treat foreign workers more fairly and ensure genuine labor needs and skills gaps are filled, while also protecting employment opportunities for New Zealand citizens and residents. Employers should be aware of the new guidelines and understand their responsibilities when hiring individuals using a 90-day trial period in their employment agreements.
