For all potential immigrants and immigration applicants to
New Zealand, it is very essential that they do know the changes that the
government has put in place. That way, they can be prepared for whatever is
coming. According to the New Zealand government, they are changing some of the
rules when it comes to work visas to be able to lessen the cases of
exploitation in the country. It is also aimed at helping immigrant workers have
better working conditions. Although exploitation happens, it is not as rampant
as in any other country in the world. And the government is doing all that it
can to rid the country of such a negative practice.
The rules have already been in effect starting last 7th of
October. The changes to work visas in New Zealand also included the new base
salary for immigrant workers who would be able to apply for a Work to Residence
Visa. Those immigrant workers would be those who are receiving a $79,560 base
salary. They should also have accredited employers.
Confusion over the changes
An expert who had been looking at the effects of the changes
to the country have mentioned that the labor market and the businesses in the
country are experiencing some unease. They are also quite confused about what could
be happening and how it is going to affect them. The work visa changes are good
though because they were designed and meant to help employers and businesses in
New Zealand keep and retain their staff. After all, having new staff would mean
training them. By being able to retain old employees, they would be able to continue
work without disruption knowing that these people already know the tricks of
the jobs that they hold.
The expert has also disclosed that employers just need a
clearer answer on how sure would the changes help in keeping their staff. They would
also need to know how the changes would help them acquire immigrant workers if
there is a need for such.
What the immigrant workers want
In a recent study conducted, it was found out that most of
the immigrant workers in New Zealand are actually quite flexible with the work
given to them. They know how to do things and are willing to take on the tasks
assigned to them. Employers are happy about their performance.
What the workers really want is to continue to stay in New Zealand and work there. They want to provide for their families and being able
to hold a steady job would be a really good blessing for these individuals. Many
of them are satisfied with the industries and employers that they are working
with and they want to continue doing so.
