WA3.1 Overview

1. Employers who are accredited may make a Job Check application and if it is approved:
   1. The approved job(s) will be associated to the employer.
   2. On the approval of a Job Check, an employer is granted one or more tokens, which allow the employer to support a work visa application for a non-New Zealand citizen or resident visa holder under the specific AEWV pathway the Job Check was granted under (WA1.10(a)).
   3. The token(s) granted will be either:
      • a regular AEWV job token(s),; or
      • a Global Workforce Seasonal Visa job token(s); or
      • a Peak Seasonal Visa job token(s).
   4. Employers with Standard Accreditation can have a maximum of 5 jobs associated to them at any one time (see WA3.30.20 for the definition of jobs associated to an employer). There is no maximum number of jobs that can be associated to employers holding High Volume Accreditation.

      Note: For avoidance of doubt, a job token is counted towards the maximum number of jobs associated to an employer regardless of the AEWV pathway it is granted under.

2. Despite E7.7, where these instructions refer to the ANZSCO, any assessment must be based on the Immigration view of version 1.3 of the ANZSCO provided by Statistics New Zealand in their Aria classification management system.
