We are a specialised UK immigration law firm.
Before we start talking about how to protect Sponsor Licence let’s understand why do you need to protect Sponsor Licence.
Presuming you have a Sponsor Licence and NON-EU skilled sponsored work force, If the home office was to find you in breach of your sponsorship duties, home office Can initiate suspension/ revocation of your sponsor license. If revocation, you loose your sponsored workers and ability to sponsor any more skilled NON-EU staff. This can affect your entire business operation. In a worst case scenario, which I have seen first-hand, the businesses have had to close as a result of loosing key skilled staff.
It may cost a great deal of money in fines and replacing skilled staff.
In my experience, wherever I have visited to conduct Compliance Checks, I have found the majority of Sponsor Licence holders not fully compliant with their sponsorship duties.
Are you one of these? Do you want to make sure that you are fully compliant?
This is what we offer:
Number 1. We will provide readily available HR compliance templates for you to use immediately.
Number 2. We will visit your business, run through a proper compliance audit and advise as to how you become fully compliant as per the Home Office’s policy guidance.
Number 3. We will provide a written post visit compliance report.
