Employer Duties Under Skilled Worker Sponsor Licence

Sponsoring a worker is not like hiring normally. You are taking on extra-legal duties.

Once you have a sponsor licence, you must:

  • Check right to work correctly
  • Keep proper employee records
  • Monitor attendance
  • Report changes to the Home Office
  • Report if a worker stops coming to work

This is not “optional admin.” These are legal duties under the sponsor system.

Employers also need to make sure the job role matches what was offered.

If a sponsored worker is doing a different job, that can cause compliance issues.
A lot of businesses in Manchester, Bolton and Burnley ask:
“Do we need a special HR department for this?”

Not always. But you do need a clear process and someone responsible for it.

Parkview Solicitors helps businesses across England set up sponsor compliance in a practical way whether you’re based in Lancashire, Liverpool, Merseyside, Cheshire, Yorkshire, or anywhere else.
