RIGHT TO
WORK
As an essential obligation, all UK employers are responsible for ensuring that they do not employ illegal workers. To safeguard against civil penalties and potential prosecution, employers must conduct thorough document checks for all prospective employees to verify their right to work in the UK. By adhering to these guidelines, employers can protect their business and ensure compliance with immigration laws. If you require assistance in understanding the requirements or conducting document checks, our team of immigration experts can provide valuable support.
CIVIL
PENALTIES
In the unfortunate event of employing a worker illegally, you could be held accountable for a civil penalty. The penalty amount may vary based on the number of illegal workers employed. Each case will be assessed individually, and a penalty will be imposed for each illegal worker discovered. To avoid such situations, it is crucial to conduct rigorous right-to-work checks for all employees, ensuring compliance with immigration laws. Our immigration experts can provide guidance to prevent such occurrences and ensure legal compliance.
IMMIGRATION
AUDITS
As a sponsor licence holder, the Home Office may conduct inspections to ensure the accuracy of your licence application and your compliance with sponsor duties. UKVI might also visit your business premises before making a decision on your licence application. To proactively prepare for Home Office inspections, our immigration barristers can conduct an immigration audit of your business, leveraging their expertise in compliance requirements. This helps maintain full compliance with immigration regulations and enhances the likelihood of a successful sponsor licence application.
