This mechanism applies only in exceptional cases and ensures that workers are not moved into businesses that may be unsuitable or unsafe.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>A Job Change application may be paused if:<\/p><ul><li>Employer\u2019s accreditation was revoked within the previous 12 months.<\/li><li>Employer is under active investigation or prosecution for immigration related non-compliance.<\/li><li>Credible evidence exists of poor employment practices or migrant exploitation.<\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>The pause remains in effect until Immigration New Zealand confirms the employer\u2019s accreditation decision.

The receiving employer only needs to have applied for accreditation, reducing delays during genuine business transitions.<\/p><p>This pathway applies only when the transfer occurs between connected entities as part of the business transaction.
