Don’t get caught out with Job Check requirements

posted on

The Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) is the new temporary work visa now in place. Employers must be accredited to hire migrant workers on an AEWV and Step 2 – the job check – is tripping some businesses up.

Applying for a Job Check (Check list)
  • A Job Check application must be made by an accredited employer
  • Applications must be made using the approved online form provided on the INZ website.
  • Employers must include evidence demonstrating that they meet the Job Check instructions, including:
    • a detailed job description; and
    • a proposed employment agreement; and
    • if a labour market test is required, evidence of advertising the job.
  • A fee must be paid for a Job Check application.
  • Multiple jobs may be included in a Job Check application if the following details are the same for all jobs: the proposed:
    • occupation; and
    • location; and
    • minimum guaranteed remuneration and maximum remuneration; and
    • type of agreement (permanent or fixed term); and
  • the minimum qualifications, work experience, skills or other specifications required for the job; and
  • the job description; and
  • the proposed employment agreement included with the application; and
  • if a labour market test is required, the jobs are included in the same set of advertising.

What should your advertising include?
  • the job description
  • the minimum and maximum pay
  • the location
  • minimum hours of work
  • estimated actual earnings if the job pays by piece, commission or there are other rates or bonuses
  • the minimum skills, experience and qualifications for the role.

A fee must be paid for a Job Check application and if something has been missed you may end up having to pay for a new job ad, as well as a new Job Check application, so check you have all the correct details.


You can include multiple roles in one job check as long as:
  • the job details are the same ⁠— for example they all have the same occupation, pay, location and minimum requirements
  • they are covered by the same advertising and employment agreement.
