- Not an accredited employer? In July 2021 accreditation becomes mandatory. Apply now.
- Keep good employee records (including time and wages) and employment agreements up to date. Immigration NZ (and labour inspectors) look closely.
- Advertise roles early. If there are New Zealanders who can fill the role you need to genuinely consider them even if a migrant worker has been with you for a long time.
- Anyone you support coming into NZ keep them posted with the rules on mandatory managed isolation/quarantine on arrival at https://www.miq.govt.nz/
- It’s been a hell of a year! Make sure you look after yourself as well as looking after others. Take a break.
