Responsibilities of Employers Holding a Sponsor Licence


Holding a sponsor licence in the UK allows employers to hire foreign talent under the Skilled Worker visa program, however this licence issued by UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) comes with critical responsibilities that need to be considered before using it. Employers must monitor and report changes in sponsored employees' statuses, such as unexpected absences or changes to job roles. Proper record-keeping of passports, right-to-work documents and absence records is vital. Compliance with immigration laws, such as right-to-work checks and meeting job requirements is mandatory for employers. Employers must justify the necessary nature of any role while meeting all salary and skill thresholds for compliance with immigration law. Cooperating with UKVI during audits is of utmost importance; failure to do so could result in licence suspension or revocation and significant penalties that disrupt business operations or force sponsored workers out. Regular internal audits, staff training programs and seeking expert immigration advice all help maintain compliance - for assistance please reach out A Y & J Solicitors today.
