Changes to immigration instructions effective on and after 10 June 2013
E3.35: Further temporary visas
Instructions have been amended to include a provision regarding applicants who are victims of workplace exploitation.
The provision states that, if an applicant has cooperated with Immigration New Zealand and/or the Labour Inspectorate by providing evidence of workplace exploitation against him or herself (as defined in section 351 of the Immigration Act 2009), immigration officers may disregard:
any previous periods when the applicant has been working in breach of his or her current or previous visa, and/or
any previous periods of unlawfulness in the applicant’s immigration history during which he or she was employed and has provided evidence of workplace exploitation in respect of that employer.
以往,经常有移民打工族因为签证的顾虑而不敢投诉他们的雇主违反劳动法的行为,个别雇主也以向移民局举报打工者为手段,阻止打工族的劳动维权行为。
移民政策的这一修正,意味着拿临时签证的打工族可以放心大胆地去维权,在受到不公平待遇后,可以采取正当的法律手段来解决劳资纠纷,而不必向以往那样过多顾虑他们的签证申请是否会受到影响。

如果有雇主以签证作威胁,打工族不要再害怕了,举报是正路。
