How to meet Corporate Immigration objectives to minimise legal risks

The Government strictly regulates the employment of non-UK and Irish nationals in the UK. To do this, the Home Office regularly undertakes compliance inspections to establish whether an organisation is complying, or capable of complying, with its sponsor duties.

Human Resources departments grow businesses by hiring and retaining the right people with the right skills from around the world.

UK corporate immigration has become extremely complex with increasing ambiguity and an emphasis on self-regulation. This makes it hard for Human Resources departments to:

• Hire and retain the staff needed to grow businesses
• Minimise the risk of negative press and reputation damage
• Reduce employment proceedings
• Avoid criminal and civil penalties
