As we bid farewell to another ski season, it won’t be long and our neck of the woods will be back heaving with visitors enjoying the holiday season, and fruit-picking will be in full swing.
And, once again, many local employers will likely be relying on temporary migrant workers to bolster their ranks to see their businesses successfully through another busy spell.
The Queenstown Lakes District’s temporary exemption from Immigration New Zealand recently ended, so employers need to get their heads around the new rules.
Recruiting migrants can be a complex matter, and it’s vital that you not only follow the correct processes and procedures, but that you can actually prove you have, should immigration officials come calling.
Immigration NZ has put out this guide for Queenstown Lakes District employers, which outlines what businesses need to do. If you’re looking to employee overseas workers this season, please feel free to give us a call – this is one of our areas of expertise, and we’re here to make what can be a complicated situation a whole lot easier and efficient. Getting it right from the start can make all the difference.
