Streamline & efficiently manage your workforce's right to work

Whether you engage 5 or 5,000 staff, collecting, confirming, and monitoring work rights entitlements is a mandated requirement for all organsations.


WorkPro easily caters for the management of this process by unifying the collection, verification and storage of New Zealand Citizenship.


Additionally, seamless access to VisaView allows you to instantly confirm and monitor non-New Zealand citizen’s entitlement to work, centralising all work rights documents and proof of evidence as part of your audit program. 



  • Collect with Speed

    Send a citizenship request to one or multiple candidates with ease. Device flexibility means a candidate can easily fulfil the requirement conveniently in a time and place that suits them. 

  • Validate with Ease

    The centralised collection of citizenship information means one system to view, validate and store a record of New Zealand citizenship. 


    Easy access to VisaView means that work entitlements for non-New Zealand citizens can be verified instantly, including a record stored as a strong audit trail. 


    Leverage smart notifications and WorkPro’s Insights dashboard to proactively ensure staff are only employed in accordance with their work entitlement. 

  • Report Transparently

    WorkPro’s Insights dashboard provides a single view of your entire workforce including unactioned tasks, New Zealand citizens, non-New Zealand citizens right to work entitlements and any compliance concerns. 


    Visibility of impending visa expiries means you can proactively manage your compliance and ensure that you only engage staff who have the right to work in New Zealand. 

  • Remain Audit-Ready

    As work rights management is such a critical element for organisations, being audit-ready is important. 


    The WorkPro platform provides custom filters to confirm all employees current work rights and ensure that any current employee has work entitlements. Each check includes a date and time stamp verification report, and each work rights check is stored as an individual report for continuous audit readiness.
