I wonder this sometimes.

Even just changing it to a tax year and liaising with IRD would save MSD a lot of money I imagine.

Thats not even taking into account the economic cost of wasting people's time and energy forcing them to attend "work seeking" seminars etc. When some people are forced to forgo doing some part time work they might be able to do instead, or avoid doing some small amount of work they might be able to manage only on a temporary basis for fear they might loose thier benefit.
