在新西兰
根据哪条法律可以把求职、在职期间被雇主无理索要的钱款讨要回来？
Wages Protection Act 1983:
Section 12. A
No premium to be charged for employment
- (1)
No employer shall seek or receive any premium in respect of the employment of any person, whether the premium is sought or received from the person employed or proposed to be employed or from any other person.
(2)
Where an employer receives any amount of money in contravention of subsection (1) of this section, whether by way of deduction from wages or otherwise, then, irrespective of any penalty to which the employer thereby becomes liable, the person by whom the money was paid or, as the case may be, from whose wages it was deducted, may recover that amount from the employer as a debt due to the person; and civil proceedings for the recovery of the amount may be instituted in the Employment Relations Authority

就算通过工作拿到了PR,然后再去追究雇主的违法，那么移民局同样可以以造假为理由取消已经批准的PR,不要觉得不可能，这种追述处罚是永久性的，除非你已经拿到了国籍~~

我和移民局就这个问题专门联系过。移民局Border Security Group 的Group Manager 专门给我回了信，就我提出的问题给了明确的答复：
May问：
Whant kind of penalty can be imposed on employers who fraudulenty state prospective immigrants are employed when in fact the prospective immigrants are "paying for their employment" and the employers also make profits by selling jobs to prospective immigrants
移民局答：
Any person who provides false or misleading information to an Immigration Officer commits an offence under sections 142 (1)(a) or 142(1)(c) of the Immigration Act 1987. The maximum penalty for an offence under section 142(1)(a) is a fine not exceeding $2000 (sectioon 142(2)). The maximum penalty for an offence under
secion 142(1)(c) of the Act is a fine of up to $100,000 and /or seven years imprisionment(section 144(1))
May 问：
If a migrant steps forward to help NZ Immigration Service to prosecute the employers, will they be prosecuted as well. What kind of penalty will be imposed on these employees?
移民局答：
The Department would consider each person's individual circumstances on a case-by-case basis before decidiing if it is appropriate to seek immunity from prosecution.
