10月9日新西兰移民局消息。一，新西兰取消了根据AEWV雇用的厨师的资格要求。二，旅游和酒店业工资中位数例外再延长一年。三，移民系统2023年工资中位数确认。
移民部长迈克尔·伍德（Michael Wood）今天宣布了旨在支持酒店和旅游业的措施，并根据行业要求调整了招聘厨师的要求。还向更广泛的旅游和酒店业提供支持，将其豁免范围扩大到工资中位数门槛，以给他们更多的时间进行过渡。 迈克尔·伍德说:“随着世界从COVID-19中恢复过来，劳动力短缺仍然是一个持续存在的全球症状。
我们正在密切关注酒店和旅游业的担忧，并与他们合作，采取切实可行的措施，在企业努力提高运营效率和弹性的运营方式时，尽可能地支持他们应对这些挑战。
我们同意酒店业的观点，即取消通过认可雇主工作签证（AEWV）雇用厨师的资格要求将允许那些在煤矿工作面接受过培训的顶级厨师来到新西兰。这将从10月18日起生效。
引入了厨师持有新西兰烹饪证书（4级）或同等资格的要求，以减少这些角色的工资和工作膨胀风险。
我们听到业界担心，在劳动力市场条件紧张的时候，这一要求限制了他们招聘不具备正式资格的厨师的选择，包括一些高技能或经验丰富的厨师。 雇用厨师的雇主现在只需要满足工资和市场利率的中位数要求，使雇主能够从更多的移民厨师中招聘。
我们仍然专注于降低这些角色的移民风险，官员们将与该行业密切合作，在未来12-18个月内开发一个系统，用于识别和评估不具备正式资格的熟练厨师。
许多旅游和酒店业将能够继续以较低的工资门槛雇用移民，政府的临时工资中位数例外将再延长一年。 我们认识到这些行业受到大流行的严重打击，并且仍在从全球旅行持续中断的影响中恢复过来。为了帮助该行业继续重建，内阁决定将向工资中位数的过渡从2023年延长一年到2024年。
这将有助于这些行业管理他们面临的短期影响，并确保有一条明确的路径，继续在中期采取重要步骤支付工资中位数。
到2023年4月，雇主将能够以AEWV工资中位数的95%或28.18纽币支付这些角色的移民工人。然后，这将在2024年4月增加到工资中位数的100%。
此举是继我们最近为支持关键部门提供劳动力供应而做出的其他实际改变之后采取的，包括将工作假期签证名额增加一倍，以及增加RSE数量以及改善条件。
根据现有政策，我今天还确认，每小时29.66纽币的新工资中位数将于2023年2月27日纳入移民系统。与工资中位数挂钩的所有工资门槛，如部门协议，也将更新。
政府致力于将新西兰推向更高工资的经济，提高移民工人的技能水平，并鼓励雇主为新西兰人提供有竞争力的工资并改善职业道路。这项政策开始发挥作用，有明确的证据表明，在一系列部门中，薪酬和条件都有所改善，这将为每个人创造一个更可持续的劳动力市场″迈克尔·伍德说。
迈克尔伍德说：“定期更新工资中位数门槛是必要的，以确保政府实现其移民再平衡目标，并确保现有政策设置与市场变化保持一致。
目前的工资门槛将一直存在，直到2023年2月纳入新的工资中位数”。
这些针对厨师的更改将于10月18日生效，并适用于从该日期开始收到的申请，或在此日期之前收到的仍在新西兰移民局处理的申请。申请人仍必须满足所有其他签证要求。
作为移民再平衡的一部分，引入了一个标准流程，每年二月在移民指令中采用工资中位数。这将基于新西兰统计局在去年8月公布的汇率。
这个时机意味着雇主和移民将有把握和大量的提前通知的变化。
9October，Immigration support for hospitality and tourism sectors
· Qualification requirement for chefs hired under AEWV removed
· Tourism and hospitality median wage exception extended for another year
· Immigration system’s median wage for 2023 confirmed
Immigration Minister Michael Wood today announced measures targeted to support the hospitality and tourism sectors and have adjusted the requirement to recruit chefs as requested by industry.
Support is also being provided to the wider tourism and hospitality sector, by extending their exemption to the median wage threshold to give them more time to transition.
As the world recovers from COVID-19, labour shortages continue to be a persistent ongoing global symptom,” Michael Wood said.
“We are listening closely to the concerns of the hospitality and tourism sectors, and working with them to take practical steps to support them with these challenges where we can, as businesses work towards more productive and resilient ways of operating.
We agree with the hospitality industry that removing the qualification requirement for chefs to be hired through an Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) will allow those top rated chefs who have trained at the coal face to come to NZ. This will take effect from 18 October.
The requirement for chefs to hold a New Zealand Certificate of Cookery (Level 4) or equivalent qualification was introduced to reduce risks of wage and job inflation in these roles.
We have heard the industry’s concerns that this requirement was limiting their options to recruit chefs who do not hold formal qualifications, including some highly skilled or experienced chefs, at a time when labour market conditions are tight.
Employers hiring chefs will now only be required to meet the median wage and market rate requirement, enabling employers to recruit from a larger pool of migrant chefs.
We remain focused on reducing the immigration risks of these roles, and officials will be working closely with the industry to develop a system over the next 12-18 months for identifying and assessing skilled chefs who do not hold formal qualifications”, Michael Wood said.
Many tourism and hospitality businesses will be able to continue hiring migrants on a lower wage threshold with the Government’s temporary median wage exception extended for another year.
We recognise these sectors have been hit hard by the pandemic and are still recovering from the impacts of ongoing disruption to global travel. To help the industry as it continues to rebuild, Cabinet has decided to extend the transition towards the full median wage for an additional year from 2023 to 2024”, Michael Wood said.
This will help these sectors manage the short-term impacts they are facing, and ensure a clear path to continue taking the important steps towards paying the median wage in the medium-term.
In April 2023, employers will be able to pay migrant workers in these roles on an AEWV 95 percent of the median wage or $28.18ph. This will then increase to 100 percent of the median wage in April 2024.
This move follows other practical changes we have made recently to support key sectors with labour supply, including doubling the number of capped Working Holiday Visa places, and increasing RSE numbers alongside improving conditions”
In line with existing policy I also confirm today that the new median wage of $29.66 per hour will be adopted into the immigration system on 27 February 2023. All wage thresholds indexed to the median wage, such as sector agreements, will also be updated.
The Government is focused on moving New Zealand to a higher wage economy, increasing the skill level of migrant workers, and encouraging employers to offer competitive wages and improve career pathways for New Zealanders. This policy is beginning to work, with clear evidence of better pay and conditions in a range of sectors, which will create a more sustainable labour market for everyone
Updating the median wage thresholds regularly is necessary to ensure the Government is delivering on its immigration rebalance goals and that existing policy settings are maintained in line with market changes”, Michael Wood said.
The current wage threshold will be in place until the new median wage is incorporated in February 2023.
These changes for chefs will come into effect on 18 October and apply to applications received from this date, or those received before this date that are still with Immigration New Zealand for processing. Applicants will still have to meet all other visa requirements.
As part of the Immigration Rebalance, a standard process has been introduced where the median wage is adopted in immigration instructions each February. This will be based on the rate published by Stats NZ in August of the previous year.
This timing means employers and migrants will have certainty and plenty of advanced notice of changes.
