We appreciate that this situation will be very difficult news for these employees.
We are working closely with the employer, the employees, and other interested parties to ensure these workers can remain in New Zealand lawfully. We are also exploring options for those who are still overseas.
We have a dedicated email address for those impacted by this situation to discuss their options going forward:

Due to the developing nature of this situation, we are unable to confirm any additional details at this stage, but addressing this situation and providing a timely outcome is a number one priority for us.
