Recent INZ Update
Very interesting update which came out today!
INZ is changing instructions so fast almost daily that even for professionals like us it is challenging to keep up with new policies and amendments to instructions to ensure correct advice to our clients!
Here is recent update from today:
The Government is streamlining the Skills Match Report process so employers can find out more easily if New Zealanders are available for jobs.
The Ministry of Social Development (MSD) has created lists of occupations and regions where there is a clear over or undersupply of New Zealanders on Job Seeker Support.
Undersupply of New Zealand job seekers
For occupations and regions where there is an undersupply of New Zealand job seekers, employers no longer need a Skills Match Report for roles paying below the national median wage, currently $25.50 an hour.
Roles that are undersupplied (rb.gy...)
Oversupply of New Zealand job seekers
For occupations and regions on the oversupply list, there are New Zealand job seekers on Job Seeker Support available. Employers can move straight to engaging with MSD to recruit New Zealand job seekers.
Roles that are oversupplied (rb.gy...)
This measure is temporary.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
