Compliance Implications For Employers When Sponsored Workers Change Role

Agile employers are currently taking strategic action to trade effectively in adverse market conditions. This includes corporate restructures and the movement of people within organisations. Against this backdrop, employers should take care to appropriately consider and monitor changes in employment to avoid illegal working, and in turn, risk to their sponsor licence.

There are a wide range of potential implications of corporate restructures for sponsorship. See our previous article, Implications of corporate restructures for a business's sponsor licence for an overview of these. In this article, we highlight some changes to sponsored workers' employment that can lead to illegal working and/or non-compliance with sponsor duties.
