Who we support
Large corporate entities often automate or outsource their HR on-boarding process. Automation can lead to individual cases which don’t fit ‘the system’ and may result in a loss of talent, unfair dismissal, discrimination or penalties for illegal working. Furthermore, using a third party to conduct employment right to work checks does not make the business exempt if they are subjected to an immigration raid or search and later served with a civil penalty for illegal workers.
The majority of our clients are large organisations such as construction companies, care-homes and commercial cleaning services. We have been able to successfully challenge their cases, proving that the organisation is compliant or the enforcement teams acted outside their powers. This has resulted in a saving of over £4 million in potential fines.
As a sole trader it’s vital to remain compliant with immigration law. Any civil penalty will be imposed on the individual business owner, and any unpaid fines may lead to visits from debt collection agencies. As a sole trader, immigration enforcement can be a daunting process. We will act on your behalf, taking the burden away from you, whilst supporting you through the entire civil penalty process. Our team of immigration consultants offer clear and concise guidance around current immigration legislation, so you can be informed when looking at your options to object against a civil penalty.
Although liability is limited, the consequences of breaching immigration law will significantly impact the company’s reputation and will likely have financial ramifications. We can advise your company ensuring appropriate governance procedures are in place to minimise these implications as a preventive measure. We can also act on your behalf to challenge any imposed civil penalty for illegal working supporting your business through the entire process.
We offer internal immigration compliance advice and can work alongside your HR and legal teams.
