Migrant Exploitation

Your Rights. Your Voice. Your Justice.

We help victims of migrant exploitation bring their employment related claims against employers in New Zealand.

How We Can Help.

Have you experienced:

1. Unpaid wages or underpayment? You have six years to claim wages you are owed.
2. Unfair working conditions? You have 90 days to complain about poor working conditions.
3. Dismissal without proper cause? You have 90 days to complain about an unjustified dismissal.
4. Breaches of your AEWV employment agreement? You have 90 days to complain about these breaches.

We are here to help you stand up for your rights.

You will need to gather some information for us to get started:

1. A written explanation of the situation you are in or what has happened to you. Set out a timeline of everything that has happened.
2. Copy of your relevant visa(s).
3. Copy of your passport photo page.
4. Copy of all relevant employment agreement(s).
5. Bank statements for the whole period of employment (all bank accounts).
6. IRD income summary for the whole period of employment.
7. Copy of all payslips you have, if any.
8. Any evidential information - proof of payment of a premium (money paid to secure the job), text messages, WhatsApp messages, emails, evidence of hours worked vs hours paid (timesheets, messages of hours worked sent to your employer).
9. If your visa was cancelled by your employer or if you were dismissed, why and how did it happen? Collect any information you have about this.

Contact us today to get started, and we will advise you how to begin collecting your evidence.
