How confident is your business of its immigration compliance? Laura Devine Immigration delivers expert guidance for employers, along with thorough compliance audits of HR systems and right to work checks.

From 13 February 2024 employers who breach illegal working rules shall be subject to increased fines starting at a maximum of £45,000 for an initial breach and £60,000 for subsequent breaches.

This poses a significant financial risk to employers who now more than ever should be confident that they have undertaken the prescribed right to work checks so that they can establish a statutory defence against any illegal working. For those who employ students, close attention should be paid to ensuring they are working in line with their conditions and not filling a full time permanent vacancy, unless an exception applies.
