Migrant Workers

Key facts

• If you employ, or plan to employ, people from outside the UK, you need to make sure that they have permission to work here before they start working for you.
• To be entitled to work in the UK, a foreign national must provide you with the necessary documentation.
• You should check any documentation provided to ensure, to the best of your ability, that those documents are genuine and that the potential employee is entitled to work in the UK.
• Employees from certain specified countries also need to register with the Home Office’s Worker Registration Scheme.
• Migrants from outside the European Union need to pass a points-based assessment before they are given permission to enter or remain in the United Kingdom. There are several tiers and, with the exception of highly skilled Tier 1 workers, other non-EU workers and students need a UK sponsor to vouch for them.
