The UK government has undertaken the largest shake up of immigration rules in the last 30 years with the introduction of the new points based system on 27 November 2008.
Companies that employ migrant workers should by now have applied for and received a sponsorship licence. Those who haven't will face difficulties in accessing overseas talent, and may not be able to extend existing work permits. All employers should ensure that their processes and systems are in compliance with the illegal working requirements in the UK.
Employers that do not comply with the illegal working checks or employ non-EEA migrants without following the rules face prosecution and financial penalties.
