Announce New Crackdown

on Employing Illegal Workers

  

by Charles Kelly

19 May 2007

As the government struggles to cope with the estimated 500,000 undocumented migrants in the UK, this week Immigration Minister Liam Byrne announced a further crackdown on employers who employ illegal immigrants.

Businesses face fines of up to £10000 per illegal worker and will have to carry out annual checks on their employee’s suitability to work in the UK.

Bison Management will be shortly launching a new service to help employers with these checks. The service will include a file and visa check and employers will be issued with a “suitability to work” certificate.

If you should have any questions on working or studying in the UK email Charles Kelly info@immigrationmatters.co.uk.

Topical Talk: Illegal Working
Employers - Are You Employing People Illegally?
A talk covering the forthcoming changes in UK Immigration Policy (Immigration Asylum and Nationality Act 2006) and the proposed Points Based System for Work Permits. These changes will have a major impact on UK employers and employees, especially in the health care sector. Employers are unwittingly employing foreign staff without the correct work permits or visas. With new fines of up to £2000 being introduced, this could be an expensive mistake.
