How to Operate a Sponsor Licence
Are following Home Office directives and managing your sponsorship licence correctly? When employing skilled workers from overseas, UK employers will need to hold a valid sponsor licence. Once a licence has been granted employers need to meet compliance duties which, if not adhered to, may be liable for penalties.
