Direct responsibility and supervision exception

An RSE is not required to have direct responsibility for the daily work output and supervision of non-New Zealand citizens and resident workers recruited under RSE policy when the workers are temporarily working on the worksite or worksites of another RSE (the recipient RSE), and the recipient RSE has agreed to take on these responsibilities. The RSE who employed the workers under RSE policy (the first RSE) remains accountable for all other responsibilities under RSE policy. This arrangement may only occur where: 

 

  • the total period of work on the recipient RSE’s worksite or worksites is of one month or less
  • the worksite or worksites of the recipient RSE is within the same region as that specified in the ATR held by the first RSE, and
  • the first RSE has notified INZ in advance of the workers starting work at the recipient RSE’s worksite or worksites.
