Employing Migrant Workers?

Do you employ foreign nationals or is this something you are looking to do in the near future?

With the skills shortage affecting the Property & Construction Industry, many employers may see migrant workers from outside the EU as a good way to fill the void.

Be warned though, if you want to employ a foreign national you will have to apply to be included on the register of sponsors. Only once you have been accepted and then given a licence can you consider sponsoring. The licence is valid for four years

Meanwhile job seekers must have a certificate of sponsorship from a licensed sponsor in order to come and work in the UK.

Applications for licences are just being accepted now. For further details you will need to visit the website of the Home Office.
