Home Office Consultation: Strengthening and simplifying the civil penalty scheme to prevent illegal working
The Home Office has published a consultation on measures to reform the civil penalty scheme to prevent illegal working. It seeks views on their proposals to strengthen and simplify the current civil penalty scheme to prevent illegal migrant working. Employers already have a responsibility to check that their employees have the right to work in the UK, and since 2008 this has been underpinned by a civil penalty scheme. This has been successful in requiring employers to make right to work checks and imposing a sanction on those who do not. The Home Office propose to further refine these requirements to get tougher on employers who continue to exploit illegal migrant workers. In parallel, and mindful of the burdens on legitimate businesses, they propose a number of measures to significantly reduce the administrative costs of complying with the requirements to make checks.
The consultation (that launched on 9 th July 2013) will inform the development of proposals for the Immigration Bill and future secondary legislation and they would welcome your views.
The consultation document and online questionnaire are available on the Home Office website.
