There have been numerous recent cases of migrant exploitation.
Newshub reports in the third quarter of last year there were 15 full-time staff – in the third quarter this year it's seven.
U Immigration director and immigration advisor Josh Kennedy told Mike Hosking originally, employers were accredited for 12 months.
“In February this year they decided to automatically extend everyone’s accreditation by an additional 12 months, so effectively, some employers could be going 24 months without having any sort of checks or interactions with INZ.”
