呼啸寒风

Immigrants are entering agreements with employers to pay their own taxes and wages in order to obtain New Zealand permanent residence, and the "scheme" even has its own name - PYO (pay your own).

Immigration New Zealand says it is investigating a case where such a scheme has allegedly been used to help a migrant to gain residency, and the agency is asking others with information about the scam to come forward.

Employment advocates say the practice is rampant and has been going on for years, with possibly hundreds gaining residence by paying their own way to meet immigration requirements for skilled migration.

The National Distribution Union, which has seen nine workers who had been in PYO arrangements with their employers in 2008, says there could have been hundreds of cases over the years.

"You just don't hear much because it is often kept within the migrant communities, with employers who are often migrants themselves entering into such arrangements with migrant employees from their own community," said Dennis Maga, the union's migrant workers support co-ordinator.

This week, South African migrant worker Jacqueline Sydow lost her personal grievance case in the Employment Relations Authority after alleging that her employer, Executive Recruiters International, had asked her to pay her own taxes and wages to support her residency application.

The Weekend Herald is aware of at least two other cases, which are in the mediation stages, where migrant employees are claiming they were made to pay their own salaries, taxes and fees to their employers in exchange for their support for residence applications.

"It's hard to say how widespread the practice is because you only hear from just a few, because many would not talk about it because they think it could jeopardise their immigration status or applications," said Beven Chuang, the Department of Labour's settlement support co-ordinator in Auckland.

"Some think such arrangements are an easy path to residency and are not aware that they are breaking the law, but others clearly go in with their eyes wide open."

Immigration New Zealand chief Nigel Bickle said: "If people have information about these types of cases, we need them to come forward ... for us to investigate."

Mr Bickle said this could be done either by calling 0508-558-855 or contacting the nearest Immigration New Zealand office.

"If we find sufficient evidence of this occurring, we would consider a number of options, including revocation of permit and prosecution."

An immigrant, who wanted to be known as Krystal, said she gained her residence only after paying close to $50,000 to her employer for her own wages and tax over nearly two years.

"I was desperate because I couldn't find a job and my job search visa was near expiry, so I went to a few businesses offering to pay them to employ me, and one accepted," said Krystal, who is now unemployed.

David Soh, editor of the local Chinese newspaper Mandarin Pages, said Immigration New Zealand's unrealistic expectations in its skilled migration requirements contributed to the practice, because it made it "near impossible" for would-be migrants to find jobs that could support their residency applications.

Employers were expected to pay the market rate - the same amount they would pay a local - when employing migrant workers, or hire them at management level in order for them to obtain residency.

"It is just not realistic for someone who is new to the country that is lacking in local knowledge and experience to be commanding the same rate, or even be employed straight into management."

An employer, who has supported a migrant worker's residency through the PYO method, says he did not see anything wrong because "everyone does it". He spoke on the condition that the Herald did not identify him.

HOW IT WORKS
* A migrant secretly pays an employer a large sum of money - say $50,000 - to cover the cost of his or her annual wages, including tax.
* The employer returns the take-home pay to the worker and pays the tax portion to the Government.
* The worker uses the fake wage payments as proof of employment to gain permanent residency

咱求职招聘版干的不都是这种勾当么~~~~我觉得很正常，移民新西兰的特色，应该发扬光大

闲人莫入

假工作不可取，什么自己打税，什么不用工作，那都是扯蛋

就算是买工作，也要看清楚工作的真实性，别为了贪移民那张纸，害自己一辈子

免费雇人，外带赚钱，同时违反移民法和劳动法-----老板
被逼无奈，选此下策，吃了亏也不敢理论，父母的血汗钱白白给了老板---雇员

我认为老板更应该受到谴责。为什么要一味指责处于弱势的雇员呢！

老板、雇员都违法-----移民法

但老板还违反了劳动法，税务法。

同意您的说法。雇员是在被逼无奈的情况下，选此下策。但雇主卖Job Offer可不是被逼无奈，而是趁人之危。

如果公平客观地分析二者所处的位置，不难看出这种雇佣关系虽然表面上看是自愿结成的，但深层的原因是雇主利用雇员的急切移民的心理和所处的不利位置，剥削打工族。

这个契约本身就是不合理的---- 不合法理，违反移民法，违反劳动法。也不近情理，因为老板只图赚钱，不给雇员任何保障。

任何交易，都要讲一个平等原则。很多黑心老板，和雇员签订的是不平等条约。 一旦雇员申请失败，这个契约没有给雇员任何保障，而只是单方面保障了老板的利益 。

不论从哪个角度讲，老板不退钱，都是应该受到强烈谴责的。

我相信，只要雇员采取法律行动，老板一定受到法律的严厉制裁，还有舆论的抨击。
