The UK Care industry stands as one of the largest employers of overseas workers in the UK. With such a diverse workforce comes the crucial responsibility of ensuring compliance with UK Border Agency (UKBA) Right To Work regulations.
Keeping compliant can feel like a full-time job, especially considering the intricacies of the regulations. This can cause an administrative headache trying to stay on top of all the paperwork. What’s more, fines have increased to £60,000 for each case where an employee lacks the legal right to work – up from the previous £20,000.
Penalties of this amount could be hugely detrimental to the profitability, and feasibility of running, your business.
