A partnership is genuine if it has been entered into on a long-term and exclusive basis.

A partnership is stable if it is likely to continue for a long time.

A business that is operating and making a profit.

For accredited employers, engaging in 'good faith' with Work and Income means you are honest and genuine in trying to recruit any suitable New Zealand workers or residents who are available and can do the job.

We expect you to have at least:

• completed the form to let Work and Income know about the job vacancy:
  Hiring migrant workers — Work and Income
• responded within 3 working days when Work and Income contacts you to discuss the job
• ensured the qualifications and work experience requirements that you provided to Work and Income match those listed in your job advertisement on other platforms, and that those requirements are genuinely required to do the job
• listed the job with Work and Income, unless they say they do not have suitable candidates
• allowed the job to be listed for enough time for Work and Income to refer candidates (this can take up to 10 working days), and also allowed enough additional time for you to interview suitable candidates after the job is listed
• interviewed and appointed any candidates that Work and Income refer if you think they are suitable.

We may contact Work and Income at any time to check you have engaged with them in good faith.
