Employing migrant workers in the UK
If you currently employ, or are seeking to recruit people from
outside the UK , there are a number of steps you must take to ensure
they have permission to work in the UK before they can take up
employment with you.
With increased emphasis being placed on employers to help stamp
out illegal migrant working, the information in this section aims to
simplify the process of ensuring that a migrant worker is eligible to
work for you in the UK. This section is designed to help ensure
that you have taken all
necessary steps towards safeguarding yourself against
prosecution under the Asylum and Immigration Act
