New immigration laws under spotlight at seminar

New rules concerning the hire of foreign workers will be examined and explained at a seminar in Swindon in November.

Led by experts from the business immigration team at law firm Royds Withy King, the seminar will be a relevant to all UK employers who do not want to fall foul of new immigration laws, particularly those who employ or want to recruit EU nationals and international talent.

The seminar will focus on employer sponsorship obligations and look at tough new penalties for illegal working. With potential fines of up to £20,000 for each illegal worker and custodial sentences of up to five years, it is essential that all businesses understand their obligations, the steps they can take to protect themselves, and are up to date with new changes to the Points Based System.

The experts will also discuss Brexit and potential ramifications for employers with a European workforce: latest Brexit developments, audits, and sweeteners to retain staff.

The seminar will be held at Royds Withy King’s office at 34 Regent Circus, Swindon on Thursday, November 16 from 5.30pm until 7.30pm. For more information, or to book a place, email events@roydswithyking.com
