Our last article before Christmas highlighted the EU/UK's 8 December 2017 Joint Report on the UK's "orderly withdrawal from the European Union".  That Joint Report laid out various points of agreement on Citizens' Rights, including the need for EU nationals in the UK and British citizens in EU27 member states before 29 March 2019 to register for a temporary or, subject to eligibility, settled status after that date. Freedom of  movement for those arriving before the cut off date would be protected.

Whilst the Joint Report includes the caveat that "nothing is agreed until everything is agreed", it does provide a degree of certainty for UK employers in terms of EU nationals arriving in the UK before Brexit day next March.
