Immigration for Recruiters: Right to Work in the UK
2 February 2021
About this event
Recruiting from overseas can solve many problems for organisations – but also create new ones.
Recruiting workers who claim to have the right to work in the UK – but do not – can cause major legal issues for employers.
Obtaining work permits for your employees; checking they have a legal right to work; dealing with changing regulations. How to stay up-to-date?
This workshop is designed to give you essential, up-to-date information about the current workings of the immigration rules and will help you keep your company compliant.
You will understand the raft of immigration rules; verify a non-UK candidate’s immigration status; review your policies and procedures to ensure your organisation is working within the law.
