Immigration Compliance Advice and Guidance

 

As a registered sponsor, immigration compliance is compulsory. There are onerous duties in relation to reporting of migrants’ whereabouts and any change of circumstances.

We can offer training, guidance and support throughout the duration of the licence to ensure compliance with all sponsor duties.

Right to work compliance

Employing illegal workers can result in imprisonment of up to five years and an unlimited fine if you do not conduct sufficient Right to Work checks.

The Home Office expects employers to verify and retain documents in an organised system to ensure continuing compliance. Your obligations do not end once the individual starts employment. If you fail to carry out the compliance checks properly, you can be fined up to £20,000 per illegal worker.

We can assist by providing relevant training and advice to ensure checks are completed correctly in line with the Home Office guidance.

How we can help

Our team will ensure that you maintain ongoing compliance with your sponsor duties and employing migrants generally. If we identify any issues in regard to non-compliance, our team will work with you to improve your processes, recommend new procedures or best practices to ensure compliance. We will provide in-house training to your staff. We can also take on the key roles in your licence to ensure compliance.

Business Immigration Audit

The purpose of an Immigration audit is to help identify and resolve areas of non-compliance in your organisation. Our audit services are tailored to meet your business needs and budget whilst ensuring you avoid the potential of incurring penalties.
