Points Based System [PBS] launched today
29th February 2008
The new Points Based System [PBS] is taking effect from today; Tier 1 for Highly Skilled Migrants is the first of five separate Tiers, providing a robust and measured means of ensuring that only the best can work in Britain. Other changes include the introduction of new licences for employers that wish to employ migrant workers, which will be a mandatory requirement for Tier 2 Work Permit applications, which are due to take effect in Autumn 2008, together with on-the-spot fines being issued to those employers that do not confirm to the rules and anyone found hiring illegal workers in the UK.

Employers - Work Permit FAQ

What is a Work Permit?
A work permit is a legal permission that is issued to you as the employer, by the Home Office. This gives you permission to employ a skilled individual in a specific role within the UK Company for a set duration of time.

What is the Work Permit process? How long does the process take?
Most work permit applications take between 1 -2 weeks for the Home Office to decide from the date of application. We will provide you with details of any timing and/or immigration issues from the outset.

What does No-Win No-Fee mean?
All fees are agreed upfront prior to any work taking place. If your work permit application is not successful, we will refund the fees back to you, less a £55 administration fee. If the case is particularly complicated, we may quote you on a fixed –fee basis, which will need to be agreed at the time of instruction.

How do I apply for a Work Permit?
If you have offered a position to an overseas national who requires a work permit, contact us for a free work permit assessment. You will need to provide us details of the individual’s CV, passport pages and full details of the post that you have offered. In most cases you will also be required to show evidence of how you have recruited this person. We will advise you on your chances of making a successful work permit application, together with a quote for undertaking this work on your behalf.

We have made Work Permit applications before. Does this make a difference?
Each work permit application is unique; the Home Office considers it on the relative merits and circumstances surrounding the case. The work permit application should always be fully supported with the most appropriate supporting evidence to make sure that you stand the best chance for success. Even if you have never made a work permit application before, we will provide you with detailed advice and guidance at each stage of the process.
