Every application under the Essential Skills instructions is subject to a labour market test. This test can be met by either:
the position being listed on one of INZ’s Essential Skills in Demand lists (the Immediate Skill Shortage List or the Long Term Skill Shortage List – both of which are reviewed twice a year, or the Canterbury Skill Shortage List) or
INZ being satisfied that there are no New Zealanders who can do, or be readily trained to do, the job offered and that the employer concerned has genuinely searched for suitably qualified and trained New Zealand workers.
This often involves INZ conducting a labour market check by consulting with Work and Income on the availability of suitable New Zealand workers. The employer can help with this assessment by listing the position with Work and Income and providing evidence to INZ with the application, of the advertising they have conducted (the more evidence the better). Labour market checks with Work and Income are compulsory for positions categorised as being skill level 4 or 5, such as horticulture, viticulture, dairy workers, and waiters.作者: johnjohnzhuzhu 时间: 2013-12-19 16:20:31
