It is offence under law to employ an individual who has no right to work or reside in the UK.
The Home Office’s website regularly names business’s which have been caught breaching immigration rules on illegal working and the level of financial fines levied against the business.
As well as the reputational damage that this could have on your businesses’ public image any history of immigration non-compliance could ultimately result in your sponsorship licence being revoked and your business losing its’ ability to sponsor migrants.
Fines for employing illegal workers can be as high as £20,000 per worker and in extreme case criminal sanctions it therefore important that your business takes steps to protect itself and ensure that all of your migrant workers are properly documented
