AEWV Requirements for Employers Using Controlling Third Parties

Who This Applies To

This information is relevant for:

Key Responsibilities

Ensuring Compliance of Controlling Third Parties

You must:

  • Address issues affecting migrant workers promptly

  • Place AEWV holders only with compliant controlling third party businesses

A compliant controlling third party must:

  • Not be on any stand-down list

  • Declare no known immigration issues preventing accreditation

Record Keeping

Maintain detailed records for each AEWV holder, including:

  • Start and finish dates

New Zealand Workforce Requirements

For specific construction sector occupations:

  • At least 35% of the workforce must be New Zealand citizens or residents in full-time employment

  • If accredited before 27 November 2023, maintain the 15% threshold, but meet 35% for new Job Checks

Monitoring Plan Requirements

Your accreditation application must include a documented plan to monitor migrant safety and employment conditions, outlining:

  • Pre-placement checks on controlling third parties

  • Processes for obtaining necessary declarations

  • Agreement for Immigration New Zealand site visits

Pre-Placement Obligations

Before placing an AEWV holder, you must assess and ensure:

  • Anti-bullying processes

  • Risk assessment and prevention measures

  • Health and safety induction procedures

  • Complaints and dispute resolution processes

  • Compliance with visa conditions and employment terms

Ongoing Monitoring

Maintain regular contact with AEWV holders:

  • Fortnightly for the first 2 months, then monthly

  • More frequently if necessary (e.g., short-term placements, ongoing disputes)

Conduct site visits:

  • Every 6 months

  • Less frequently if evidence suggests low risk of breaches

Issue Resolution

You must:

  • Investigate and address employment and safety issues

  • Seek external help for unresolved issues
