Hosted by Scotland’s Migration Service in partnership with Seraphus, this webinar explains what employers need to consider before changing a sponsored worker’s role, duties, hours, salary or work location. The session examines how employment changes can affect the information originally provided to the Home Office and an employer’s ongoing sponsor duties. Employers will gain a practical understanding of when changes must be reported, when a new Certificate of Sponsorship and immigration application may be required, and when sponsorship may need to end.
