Jim Bobbins made this Official Information request to Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Jim Bobbins to read recent responses and update the status.

From: Jim Bobbins

Dear Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment,

(1)
What verification checks were completed on the company structure and finances of CPL Jobs (Ross Berry) before being awarded 840 job tokens?

The annual wage costs for these tokens (based on the minimum wage $23.15 and 30hrs per week as a full-time job) would exceed $30,000,000.

This does not include overheads, and other operating expenses for CPL Jobs.

How does INZ justify awarding so many job tokens to one business?

(2)
When Chan Tara Ltd applied for employer accreditation, what verifications were undertaken to determine whether the director was a New Zealand citizen as she had declared on her accreditation application?

Yours faithfully,

JR

This reply from MBIE is bullshit. They didn't answer the second question and reply to the first question is totally irrelevant and generic.

@Jim please consider complaining to Ombudsman

INZ has allowed a massive influx of unskilled labor to NZ and at the same time added a level of employee exploitation never heard of in NZ
