Why Sponsor Licence Compliance Matters
A sponsor licence is not simply permission to employ overseas workers. It creates ongoing legal and compliance duties. The Home Office expects licensed sponsors to monitor workers, keep accurate records and report relevant changes within required timescales.
Reporting Duties
Employers must report certain changes relating to sponsored workers, roles, salary, work location or employment status.
Record Keeping
Businesses must retain accurate documents showing identity, right to work, job details, salary and sponsored worker information.
Genuine Employment
Sponsored roles must be genuine, correctly classified and paid at the required salary level.
