Activ Absence, a leader in absence management software, has taken a proactive step by teaming up with a market-leading Right to Work and compliance system provider. This collaboration aims to deliver a free webinar dedicated to educating HR managers on UK immigration compliance, a realm fraught with complex legal requirements. Such knowledge is crucial for ensuring that organizations adhere to Right to Work Check regulations, thereby safeguarding themselves from potential legal ramifications.
This complimentary session, hosted by Activ Absence and Working Status, a London-based compliance expert, is slated for June 9, 2015. The event will commence at 10 a.m. and provide a comprehensive update on ‘Immigration Compliance 2015.’ As UK immigration laws evolve, understanding these regulations becomes indispensable for HR professionals tasked with maintaining organizational compliance.
The webinar seeks to elucidate several critical issues. Participants will gain insights into the points-based system (PBS) legislation and the prevention of illegal working. Additionally, the discussions will cover the implications of these regulations, detailing how they impact organizational operations. A significant focus will be given to the concept of the Sponsor Licence, highlighting its requirements when employing sponsored migrants.
Moreover, the session will outline obligations related to keeping Sponsor Licence information current. Correct recruitment procedures, as well as monitoring and reporting obligations, will also be discussed. This knowledge is vital for businesses aiming to adhere to UK immigration guidelines meticulously.
Anne Morris, the appointed speaker for the webinar, brings over 20 years of expertise in immigration law. Her career began at the Home Office, and she has since established herself as a formidable figure in the field, founding her legal practice and subsequently Working Status. Her insights are backed by extensive experience with a diverse clientele, spanning industries such as Oil & Gas, Technology, Finance, and even Sports Teams.
Ms. Morris emphasizes the importance of rigorous Right to Work checks, especially in an era where UK Visa and Immigration is intensifying surprise site visits. She warns businesses about the risks posed by inadequate checks, including legal repercussions, financial losses, and reputational damage. ‘If someone is hiding their real identity from you, they may well also be hiding past criminal convictions which can jeopardize your business,’ she noted.
Adrian Lewis, Commercial Director for Codel Software, which developed Activ Absence, acknowledged the pivotal role of the webinar. He stated that although the area of HR addressed might be novel to many, the issues it covers are undeniably vital for any business aiming to maintain compliance and operational security.
The collaboration between Activ Absence and Working Status underscores the critical nature of immigration compliance in the modern business environment.
