All UK employers are legally required to ensure that their employees have valid immigration permission to work in the UK. The risks of getting it wrong are significant, from fines of up to £60,000 per illegal worker, to criminal sanctions and reputational damage via the Home Office’s public penalty register. For sponsors, non-compliance can even jeopardise your sponsor licence and the ability to employ migrant workers.
We review your employee records to ensure they meet Home Office standards, assess your recruitment and onboarding policies for compliance and evaluate how your business tracks visa expiry dates. Based on our findings, we provide clear recommendations and a bespoke action plan to strengthen your processes.
We deliver practical training sessions to equip your team with the skills to confidently carry out compliant right to work checks. Our training includes specific guidance on visa conditions (e.g. Student visas) and is tailored to suit your business operations and structure.
We provide easy to follow internal guidance documents and practical checklists to help your staff carry out right to work checks accurately and consistently.
We review and update your employee handbooks and onboarding procedures to ensure they reflect current immigration rules, helping you stay compliant and reduce risk.
If you’re facing potential Home Office enforcement action, we offer strategic advice, help prepare the necessary documentation and liaise with authorities to protect your business and reputation.
We act as an extension of your HR team, offering expert immigration advice and responsive support whenever additional guidance is needed.
