UK Sponsorship Licences: What are they and how do I obtain one for my business<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent times, there has been a growing demand for sponsorship licences due to various factors such as the closure of certain business immigration<\/a> routes and other changes in immigration law after Brexit<\/a>, including the cessation of freedom of movement within the United Kingdom (UK).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the conclusion of the transition<\/a> period after Brexit on 31 December 2020, there have been notable developments in immigration law and policy. Consequently, there has been a notable surge in sponsorship licence applications. According to the Home Office’s Donn\u00e9es de transparence sur les visas et l'immigration au Royaume-Uni pour le troisi\u00e8me trimestre 2022<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, le number<\/a> of sponsorship licence holders in these routes has risen from 30,278 at the end of Q4 2020 to 49,916 at the end of Q3 2022. This represents a significant 65% increase in the number of UK sponsorship licence applications submitted after the termination of freedom of movement for UK and European Economic Area (EEA) nationals<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To enable the sponsorship of migrant workers or students on sponsored work visas or student visas<\/a>, it is imperative for UK employers and educational institutions to possess a valid sponsorship licence issued by the Home Office. When applying for such a licence, a company must effectively demonstrate that it is a lawfully operating and trading entity within the UK. This entails providing evidence<\/a> of the company’s legal status and compliance with the necessary regulations and requirements<\/a>. By obtaining a sponsorship licence, businesses and educational institutions can legally sponsor individuals to work or study in the UK under the designated visa categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having a thorough understanding<\/a> of sponsorship duties<\/a> is crucial for all sponsors, considering the heightened compliance monitoring and checks conducted by the Home Office before granting a sponsorship licence. In order to mitigate the risk of having its sponsorship licence application refused or, in the event of approval, suspended or revoked at a later stage, it is advisable for sponsors to invest in sponsorship licence training or undergo a mock audit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Les titulaires d'une licence de parrainage sont tenus de maintenir un syst\u00e8me efficace de ressources humaines (RH) qui leur permet de suivre et de g\u00e9n\u00e9rer des rapports \u00e0 soumettre au minist\u00e8re de l'int\u00e9rieur. Compte tenu des circonstances actuelles, qui ont vu une augmentation des licenciements ainsi que des changements dans les r\u00f4les et les salaires, il est devenu encore plus important pour les parrains de mettre en place des syst\u00e8mes de ressources humaines robustes. Ces syst\u00e8mes garantissent le respect des exigences impos\u00e9es aux titulaires de parrainage et les aident \u00e0 traiter de mani\u00e8re proactive tout probl\u00e8me ou changement potentiel susceptible d'avoir une incidence sur leurs obligations en mati\u00e8re de parrainage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Si votre entreprise est d\u00e9j\u00e0 titulaire d'une licence de parrainage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For businesses that already hold a sponsorship licence and engage<\/a> in recruitment from outside the UK, it is advisable to conduct a thorough review of their immigration compliance measures. This includes ensuring<\/a> that the existing systems are running smoothly and are adequately prepared to handle a potential rise in the number of employees requiring visa sponsorship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By proactively reviewing immigration compliance, businesses can identify any areas that may require improvement or adjustment. This may involve updating internal processes, enhancing record-keeping systems, and ensuring that relevant staff members are well-versed in immigration regulations and procedures. Taking these steps not only helps to maintain compliance with sponsorship obligations but also minimises the risk of facing<\/a> civil<\/a> penalties or potential revocation of the sponsorship licence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comment maintenir la conformit\u00e9 avec les obligations du sponsor<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How you wish to maintain compliance with your sponsor obligations often depends on the size and scale of your business and your migrant intake. The Home Office does not mandate how compliance processes should be carried out, only that they are adhered to. This therefore provides sponsors with flexibility as to how they design and implement compliance processes, which in part often complement existing HR policies<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Les exigences quotidiennes du sponsor comprennent (mais ne sont pas limit\u00e9es \u00e0) :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- Right<\/a> to work checks and visa expiry tracking;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- Suivi des d\u00e9placements des employ\u00e9s et utilisation d'un syst\u00e8me d'enregistrement des absences ;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Reporting corporate<\/a> and employee changes in circumstances; and<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- Conservation de la documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A key aspect of the sponsorship licence application process is ensuring that you understand the compliance responsibilities involved in holding a sponsorship licence, not least because at some stage the Home Office is likely to attend your offices to carry out a compliance check or audit. Depending on the outcome<\/a> of that audit, your sponsorship licence could be downgraded, suspended or revoked, all of which va<\/a> have an impact on you as a sponsor and any sponsored employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personnel dirigeant :<\/strong> Votre personnel cl\u00e9 est-il digne de confiance, fiable et de bonne moralit\u00e9 ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proc\u00e9dures RH et pratiques de recrutement<\/strong>: Disposez-vous de proc\u00e9dures de ressources humaines et de pratiques de recrutement efficaces pour vous acquitter de vos t\u00e2ches de parrainage ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Quelles sont les conditions requises pour qu'un sponsor puisse demander un certificat de parrainage pour un travailleur migrant ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pour employer un travailleur migrant par la voie des travailleurs qualifi\u00e9s, le sponsor doit demander un certificat de parrainage (CoS) en remplissant les conditions suivantes :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Offre d'emploi d'un parrain agr\u00e9\u00e9 :<\/strong> Le individual<\/a> must have a job offer from a Home Office licensed sponsor, which in this case would be your business as the sponsor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Niveau de comp\u00e9tence requis : <\/strong>L'offre d'emploi doit correspondre au niveau de comp\u00e9tence requis (RQF 3 ou plus), \u00e9quivalent \u00e0 un niveau A ou \u00e0 des qualifications sup\u00e9rieures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comp\u00e9tences en anglais<\/strong>: The migrant worker must possess the necessary knowledge<\/a> of English to meet the required standard<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minimum Salary<\/a> Threshold:<\/strong> L'emploi propos\u00e9 doit atteindre le seuil de salaire minimum applicable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A skilled worker visa application operates on a points-based system, allowing for potential trade-offs between certain requirements. For instance, a migrant worker may compensate for having a lower salary by having higher qualifications than those required to achieve the required number of points in the application. Generally, a minimum of 70 points is necessary to apply for skilled worker status<\/a> and work in the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notre \u00e9quipe peut vous fournir des conseils d'expert pour naviguer dans le syst\u00e8me \u00e0 points, en veillant \u00e0 ce que votre demande de parrainage et le certificat de parrainage correspondant r\u00e9pondent aux exigences requises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Quelles sont les obligations et responsabilit\u00e9s permanentes des titulaires de licences de parrainage ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Les parrains agr\u00e9\u00e9s ont plusieurs t\u00e2ches et responsabilit\u00e9s permanentes, notamment  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fonctions hi\u00e9rarchiques : \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I) Sponsors are required to fulfil reporting obligations, which involve notifying the Home Office of any changes to a sponsored worker’s circumstances within 10 working days of the relevant event. This includes changes to salary, job title, work localisation<\/a>, or job description (provided it remains within the same government<\/a> Standard Occupational Code). If the role changes to a different code, a new Certificate of Sponsorship and visa application will be necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

II) Reporting to the Home Office on any changes to the organisation within 20 working days of the relevant event occurring unless otherwise stated in the Home Office policy guidance. Such changes include replacing your Authorising Officer or Key Contact<\/a>, amending your current Authorising Officer\u2019s or Key Contact\u2019s details<\/a>, amending your organisation\u2019s details, such as its name or the name of any branches, address, contact details, or head office details and informing the Home Office about<\/a> any changes to the structure of the organisation, such as more branches or sites or new linked entities in the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tenue de registres<\/strong>: Les promoteurs doivent tenir des registres et des documents appropri\u00e9s concernant les travailleurs parrain\u00e9s, y compris leur droit de travailler au Royaume-Uni, leurs coordonn\u00e9es et leur statut d'immigrant. Ces dossiers doivent pouvoir \u00eatre consult\u00e9s par le minist\u00e8re de l'int\u00e9rieur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conformit\u00e9 avec les lois britanniques sur l'immigration et les lois plus g\u00e9n\u00e9rales<\/strong>: Les parrains doivent se conformer \u00e0 la l\u00e9gislation et \u00e0 la politique d'immigration du Royaume-Uni, y compris aux directives relatives aux parrains de travailleurs et de travailleurs temporaires fournies par le minist\u00e8re de l'int\u00e9rieur. Ils doivent \u00e9galement se conformer aux lois britanniques plus g\u00e9n\u00e9rales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conducive to the Public Good :<\/strong> Les promoteurs doivent s'abstenir d'entreprendre des actions ou d'adopter des comportements qui ne sont pas favorables au bien public. Il s'agit notamment de respecter des normes \u00e9thiques et de maintenir une approche responsable des pratiques d'immigration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notre \u00e9quipe peut vous fournir des conseils d\u00e9taill\u00e9s sur la mani\u00e8re de remplir ces obligations et responsabilit\u00e9s permanentes, en veillant \u00e0 ce que vous respectiez les exigences de votre licence de parrainage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. How do I, as an employer, take steps to prevent illegal<\/a> working? \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Illegal working is a very serious issue with grave consequences<\/a> for the employers and employees involved. Without having the proper checks and processes in place, illegal working can happen anywhere \u2013 contrary to what the media might have us think about it only happening in the dingy kitchens of fast-food joints. Not only is illegal working a criminal<\/a> offence \u2013 for which an employer can receive a custodial sentence of 5 years and a large fine if they are found guilty of employing someone, they had reasonable cause to believe did not have the right to work \u2013 but it can also have devastating impacts on a business.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pour \u00e9viter le travail ill\u00e9gal, vous pouvez prendre les mesures suivantes :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Effectuer des contr\u00f4les valides du droit au travail<\/strong>: Avant d'employer une personne ou le premier jour de travail, veillez \u00e0 effectuer un contr\u00f4le valide du droit au travail. Il s'agit de v\u00e9rifier l'original du passeport de la personne (y compris pour les citoyens britanniques) et, pour les travailleurs migrants, le visa, c'est-\u00e0-dire le permis de s\u00e9jour biom\u00e9trique (BRP). Conservez les preuves de ces v\u00e9rifications dans vos dossiers. Si un travailleur migrant n'a pas de BRP, examinez son passeport original ainsi que la lettre de d\u00e9cision du minist\u00e8re de l'int\u00e9rieur et proc\u00e9dez \u00e0 une v\u00e9rification en ligne du droit au travail sur le site web du gouvernement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Respecter les restrictions de travail :<\/strong> Pour les migrants soumis \u00e0 des restrictions de travail limit\u00e9es, comme les \u00e9tudiants qui sont g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement autoris\u00e9s \u00e0 travailler un maximum de 20 heures par semaine, il est essentiel de veiller au respect de ces restrictions. Contr\u00f4lez et v\u00e9rifiez qu'ils respectent les limites prescrites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Permissions limit\u00e9es dans le temps :<\/strong> If a migrant worker’s permission<\/a> to work is time-limited, conduct follow-up Right to Work checks to ensure that you do not employ the migrant unlawfully beyond the expiration of the visa. It is crucial to track visa expiry dates and take appropriate action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By conducting valid Right to Work checks, you establish a statutory<\/a> excuse against civil penalties for employing individuals illegally, should such penalties be imposed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notre \u00e9quipe peut vous fournir des conseils complets sur la mani\u00e8re de proc\u00e9der \u00e0 des v\u00e9rifications correctes du droit au travail et de garantir la conformit\u00e9 avec les r\u00e9glementations en mati\u00e8re d'immigration, vous aidant ainsi \u00e0 prot\u00e9ger votre entreprise et \u00e0 pr\u00e9venir le travail ill\u00e9gal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
