WEB 1055 Employing migrant workers: Skilled Workers, sponsorship & alternatives (WEBINAR)

Event | Training

A basic to intermediate level course aimed at those who do not yet feel confident with sponsorship and business immigration. We will take a closer look at the requirements for employers and workers, and how the sponsorship system impacts them now and in the new post-Brexit system. 

Topics:

•    Skilled Worker vs Tier 2 sponsorship, and the requirements for employers and workers;
•    specific issues such as advertising, new overseas hires, and salary points scoring;
•    the impact of the new rules – what’s simpler, and what hidden issues may arise, and;
•    alternative immigration routes for those avoiding the sponsorship scheme.
