Comprehensive Sponsor Licence Compliance Audit

By Nara Solicitors our home office style compliance audit will make sure that your organisation has the following practices and duties in place.

Recruitment Practice

Implementing a structured and transparent recruitment process is vital for compliance. This includes demonstrating that the role you are hiring for is genuine and cannot be filled by a local candidate.

Ensuring that all job advertisements and recruitment efforts are well-documented and align with the job requirements specified in the Certificate of Sponsorship is crucial.

Record Keeping Duties

Accurate record-keeping is a cornerstone of compliance. Sponsors must maintain up-to-date records of all sponsored employees, including employment contracts, visa details, and evidence of right-to-work checks.

All documents must be readily accessible for inspection by the Home Office, and any changes to the employee’s circumstances should be updated promptly

Reporting Duties

Timely and accurate reporting is mandatory under the sponsor licence obligations. Sponsors must notify the Home Office of any significant changes in the employment status of their sponsored workers, such as changes in job title, salary, or if the employee ceases to work for the organisation.

Using the Sponsor Management System (SMS) effectively is crucial to meet these reporting requirements.

HR & Recruitment Practices

Having robust HR and recruitment practices is essential for maintaining compliance. This involves appointing key personnel such as the Authorising Officer and Level 1 User, who are responsible for managing the sponsor licence. They must be well-trained and capable of handling all aspects of the sponsorship process.

Regular training and clear communication of compliance responsibilities to all involved staff members are vital to avoid any unintentional breaches.
