What is Sponsor Licence Revocation?
A Sponsor Licence can be revoked by the Home Office if your business fails to comply with the necessary immigration and legal requirements. Revocation typically occurs if the Home Office identifies that a sponsor is not meeting their responsibilities as a licensed sponsor. Some of the common reasons for revocation include:
- Failure to comply with sponsor duties: This includes failing to keep accurate records, not reporting employee changes, or not ensuring that workers have the correct right to work in the UK.
- Non-compliance with Right to Work checks: A business is required to carry out regular Right to Work checks on all employees. Failure to do so can lead to revocation.
- Not cooperating with Home Office audits: If your company fails to provide documents or information requested by the Home Office during compliance checks or audits.
- Breach of UK immigration law: This includes hiring workers who do not have the right to work or failing to meet the minimum wage for sponsored employees.
When your Sponsor Licence is revoked, your company loses the ability to sponsor skilled workers, which can significantly affect your ability to fill key roles and continue business operations.
