If you have an employer licence and do not follow its conditions, you commit an offence. You can be fined up to $50,000 if you are an individual, or up to $250,000 if you are a company. This is according to the Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Act 2006, which can be found on the New Zealand legislation website.
