新西兰基督城汽车旅馆前老板Jian Li剥削4名移民员工判7个半月居家监禁：每周工作98小时只按40小时发薪
新西兰移民局10月28日通报，基督城一家汽车旅馆的前老板因剥削4名移民员工，10月28日在新西兰坎特伯雷大区基督城市地方法院被判处7个半月居家监禁。
涉案人为 Jian Li，为 Fei Huang Teng Da Ltd 的原经营者，该公司当时以位于基督城市 Riccarton 区的 315 Motel Riccarton 名义开展业务。
2017年2月至2021年12月期间，4名移民员工受雇担任汽车旅馆经理，被要求住在旅馆内并负责日常运营，包括每周7天、每天上午7时30分至晚上9时30分在前台值守。调查发现，他们每周实际工作时间在84至98小时之间，但通常只按每周40小时领取工资，且未获得法定最低工资以及《假期法》规定的相关权益，包括年假和公共假日工作应获得的1.5倍工资。
10月28日，Jian Li 在基督城地方法院承认违反新西兰《2009年移民法》的7项移民剥削相关罪名，最终被判处7个半月居家监禁。其律师曾请求法院改判社区监禁，但法院认为案件情节严重，拒绝了这一请求。
其公司 Fei Huang Teng Da Ltd 此前已于今年5月29日被判刑，同样承认7项移民剥削相关罪名，被责令向4名员工支付共计115,077.26纽币的补偿金，目前这笔款项已全部支付给受影响的员工。目前，其中3名员工仍持有效工签留在新西兰，另一人已离境。
新西兰移民局调查部门全国经理 Jason Perry 表示，这些员工并非偶尔加班，而是长期每周7天从早到晚经营汽车旅馆，却只能拿到与实际工作时间不相称的一小部分报酬，「这是完全不可接受的。任何人都不应被要求工作这么长时间却得不到应得的工资。」他表示，此案表明，利用员工对其工作和居留身份的依赖进行剥削的老板将受到惩处，在新西兰工作的移民与所有人享有同样的职场权利。
New Zealand: Former Christchurch Motel Owner Jian Li Sentenced to 7.5 Months' Home Detention for Exploiting Four Migrant Workers Paid for 40 Hours While Working Up to 98
Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand — Immigration New Zealand (INZ) said on October 28 that the former owner of a Christchurch motel has been sentenced to seven and a half months' home detention for exploiting four migrant workers.
Jian Li, former owner and operator of Fei Huang Teng Da Ltd, which traded as 315 Motel Riccarton in the Riccarton area of Christchurch, was sentenced in the Christchurch District Court on October 28 after pleading guilty to seven migrant exploitation charges under the Immigration Act 2009.
The offending involved four migrant workers employed as motel managers between February 2017 and December 2021. They were required to live on-site and effectively run the motel operation, including staffing reception from 7:30 a.m. until 9:30 p.m. every day of the week.
Despite working between 84 and 98 hours each week, they were generally paid for only 40 hours. The investigation found the workers were denied minimum wage and Holidays Act entitlements, including annual holidays and time-and-a-half for working on public holidays.
Li's counsel submitted that the sentence should be community detention, but this was declined given the seriousness of the offending. Fei Huang Teng Da Ltd had earlier been sentenced on May 29, 2026, after also pleading guilty to seven migrant exploitation charges, and was ordered to pay NZ$115,077.26 in reparations, which has since been paid to the four workers. Three of the workers remain in New Zealand on valid work visas, while the fourth has left the country.
INZ Investigations National Manager Jason Perry said the workers were not just working the occasional long day but were essentially running the motel from morning until night, seven days a week, while being paid for only a fraction of the hours they worked. "That's simply not acceptable. No one should be expected to work those kinds of hours without being paid properly," he said, adding that the case showed employers who take advantage of workers who rely on them for both their job and their right to stay in New Zealand will be punished, and that migrant workers have the same workplace rights as anyone else in New Zealand.
