UK employers must ensure that they are compliant with immigration rules and requirements. Right to Work checks are incumbent on all UK employers, irrespective of whether you have a sponsor licence or not. Latest figures show that there has been a sharp rise in compliance visits and action taken by the Home Office over the last few weeks, with the number of Home Office suspensions more than doubling for Skilled Worker sponsor licence holders in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023.
These statistics are expected to worsen which could have a profound impact on businesses. Immigration specialist, Gurjit Pall hosts this webinar and Q&A session, detailing the latest legal requirements for Right to Work checks and how to ensure Sponsor Licence holders can meet their compliance duties.
This webinar covers:
- An overview of how employers are required to conduct Right to Work checks in the prescribed manner on new employees and existing staff who hold temporary right to work;
- Details of what documentation should be retained throughout the employment of your staff and the process involved when the employee leaves your organisation; and
- An overview of the sponsor licence and the importance of compliance and maintenance of sponsor licence by ensuring good HR practices are in place.
