Posted: Thu 25th Jul 2024
As the Home Office intensifies its compliance checks, remote and on-site, it's more crucial than ever for sponsors to understand and adhere to their responsibilities.
With last year seeing an unprecedented rise in sponsors having their licences suspended or revoked, the stakes have never been higher.
The Home Office has ramped up compliance visits prior to granting sponsor licences and fines for employers hiring workers without proper work rights have surged up to £60,000. Additionally, the practice of publicly naming non-compliant companies can cause severe reputational damage.
