New Zealand's Recognised Seasonal Employer (RSE) Scheme is being revitalized to support its horticulture and viticulture industries, with the cap increased to 20,750 for the 2024/25 season. Changes include employers paying workers an average of 30 hours a week, lifting accommodation cost increases, and only requiring experienced workers to be paid 10% above minimum wage. The scheme aims to provide increased flexibility for visa settings, broader opportunities for skills development, and better worker welfare settings.
