Compliance under the Points Based System

Ensuring your business is fully immigration compliant is a key part of sponsorship under Tier 2 of the Points Based System. In a world of increasing regulation and penalties for non-compliance, managing this risk is vital to ensuring you are meeting your obligations as a sponsoring employer. Our dedicated business immigration team has extensive experience in helping clients to maintain the highest standards of immigration compliance. Through our tailored in-depth compliance check, we assist clients in reviewing their own systems and HR processes, providing clear advice on risk areas and solutions for reaching the required standards.

We provide our UK clients with full support to ensure that their pre-employment checking, reporting and other sponsorship duties are fully met. Our team will help to ensure your immigration compliance through:

• in-depth analysis and assessment of your current HR system and processes;
• reviewing offer letters and contracts of employment for compliance issues;
• full or sample file auditing and reporting;
• process improvement recommendations and follow up;
• making any necessary reports or taking any corrective steps in relation to sponsored employees; and
• preparing licensed sponsors for UKBA sponsor visits.

Our team will provide you with a detailed report of the compliance check findings, as well as advice on changes to procedures to ensure full compliance. We also provide ongoing Sponsor training and support with duties under the Points Based System.
