A commercial cleaning company that said it was "testing the market" by advertising a job with no pay has apologised and pulled the job advert.The only catch was the job applicant would be working for free, with the advertisement stating the role was a "voluntary position".
"We acknowledge and sincerely apologise for our recent job ad, which suggested a voluntary cleaning role," she said. "This incident highlights the importance of thoughtful decision-making in recruitment, and we are committed to continually improving our processes to better serve both our team and our community."The cleaning team, which consisted of 13 cleaners and one manager, were all paid at or above the Living Wage of NZ$27.80 an hour , she said.
