Would you pass a Home Office visit tomorrow?

Five questions about your sponsor duties. Answer honestly and see where an inspector would find gaps. Nothing you enter leaves this page.

Is a right-to-work check completed and saved before every new starter’s first day?

Employing someone without a valid check exposes you to a civil penalty for each worker.

Do you know the visa expiry date of every sponsored worker, with a reminder before it?

A lapsed permission means the person cannot keep working for you.

Do you report reportable changes, such as long unexplained absence, within 10 working days?

Late or missing reports are one of the most common findings at inspection.

Do you hold the documents Appendix D requires for each sponsored worker?

Inspectors ask for these files by name.

Could you produce all of this for an inspector within one working day?

Visits can be unannounced.

Close every gap before the visit.

The compliance register tracks each of these duties for you, alongside the rest of HR.
