Is Your Care Home's HR Ready for the Home Office Audit?
Is Your Care Home's HR Ready for the Home Office Audit?
For care home owners and managers, the primary focus is, and always should be, delivering outstanding care. Yet, a significant and growing administrative burden threatens to divert your attention from this crucial mission: navigating the complexities of UKVI sponsor licence compliance. With civil penalties for employing illegal workers now tripled to a staggering £45,000 per individual, the financial and operational risks of non-compliance have never been higher.
The reality is that traditional HR software often isn't equipped to handle the specific demands of sponsor licence management. This can leave your organisation dangerously exposed to visa tracking failures, incorrect right-to-work checks, and incomplete documentation. The consequences can be severe, ranging from hefty fines to the suspension or even revocation of your sponsor licence—a catastrophic outcome for any care provider relying on sponsored staff.
