Further to the Government’s introduction of more onerous visa restrictions and a cap on economic migration, many businesses are asking whether it is still possible to employ non-European nationals. Employers are now required to think in a strategic and creative way when it comes to recruiting migrants and we will look at the various visa categories that are still available following the latest round of changes.

Part 2

Fines, criminal penalties, losing your migrant work force and being named and shambed by the UK Border Agency (“UKBA”). These are the potential consequences that affect all employers if they do not comply with the government’s new immigration guidelines. All employers are required to perform checks on their employees as the government shift the burden of monitoring migrant workers firmly to the doorstep of the employers and the UKBA have stepped up the number of unannounced visits to employers to do just that. This also affects those who are in the UK as “business visitors”.

The second part of our two part immigration course will set out the rules affecting employers and provide guidance and tips on what employers should be doing to protect themselves from this risk.
