As global employment markets open up, the composition of the UK workforce is rapidly changing. Immigration legislation places a number of stringent requirements on employers in relation to recruiting and employing migrant workers and non-compliance can result in both criminal and civil penalties.
It is therefore vital that employers and HR professionals are aware of their obligations and have the correct procedures in place when employing and recruiting migrant workers.
