54 infringements, totalling $196,000 in penalties, have been issued to employers breaching immigration law, since the Immigration Employment Infringement Scheme, was introduced six months ago.

The scheme is a new enforcement tool that promotes fair treatment of migrant workers and means employers can be fined for committing immigration violations, including employing people in breach of their visa conditions or who are unlawfully in New Zealand.

🔊 Immigration NZ Update: 23 October 2024

🔺 The New Zealand Government has today announced changes to the Partner of a Worker Work Visa, effective from 2 December 2024, which will allow more partners of migrant workers to receive open work rights, enabling them to work for any employer.

🔺 Eligibility for these open work rights requires the partner to hold an Accredited Employer Work Visa with employment in either a higher-skilled role or a lower-skilled role on a pathway to residence.

🔺 Specifically, this includes migrants working in ANZSCO Level 1-3 roles with a minimum pay of $25.29 per hour, ANZSCO Level 4-5 roles on the Green List or under the Transport or Care Workforce Sector Agreements meeting residence wage thresholds, or ANZSCO Level 4-5 roles earning at least 1.5 times the median wage.

🔺 Additionally, those on an Essential Skills Work Visa earning at least $25.29 per hour are included. Current visa holders can apply for a variation to switch to open work rights, provided their partner meets the new criteria.
