There’s a belief that regular check-ins for beneficiaries will result in more people working.
People on Jobseeker are now required to attend the Ministry of Social Development's 'work check in' seminars.
The first will be after two weeks of signing on and another after six months.
Former WINZ boss Christine Rankin told Mike Hosking that there's a huge need for the entry-level jobs in question.
She says it's a Jobseeker's responsibility to find a job that pays more than a benefit, which Rankin says isn't hard to do.
