It is a criminal offence to employ someone in the United Kingdom who is over the age of 16, is subject to immigration control and has no permission to work in this country or is in breach of the conditions of his stay. To avoid prosecution employers must show that they have carried out detailed checks to ensure that the prospective employee either has the required permission to work or does not need it.

This white paper looks at the issues surrounding employing non-British staff, including:

  • work permits;
  • documentation;
  • the Highly Skilled Migrant Programme; and
  • racial discrimination.
