From 24 November 2016, the UK Government made changes to the UK Immigration Rules which will affect those who are going to be making a UK Immigration visa application on or after 24 November 2016 (the “Change Date”). A summary of the main changes affecting organisations is provided below.
Tier 2 (General) migrant workers
Tier 2 (Intra-Company Transfers (“ICT”)) migrant workers
Graduate Trainees will be allowed to switch between Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) codes whilst on the programme without their sponsor having to make a change of employment application;
the salary threshold has been reduced from £24,800 to £23,000; and
the number of places a sponsor can use has been increased from five to 20 per year.
It is important that employers make themselves aware of the changes which undoubtedly make it tougher for UK employers to recruit skilled workers. The changes outlined above will be followed by further changes scheduled to be implemented in April 2017, which include the abolition of Tier 2 ICT transferees in the short term staff sub category. Employers should consider the implications on their business and plan accordingly for the closure of the Tier 2 ICT Short Term staff and Tier 2 ICT Skills transfer routes. Both sub categories have proved to be flexible and beneficial routes for employers wishing to transfer staff to the UK for short periods of time.
Should you like to discuss how these changes may affect you or your business, please get in touch.
