Why must you have the Goldstar Sponsor Maintenance Service (GSMS)?
- To ensure you are fully aware and compliant of your sponsor duties & responsibilities
- To ensure your migrant workers are fully compliant in past, current and future records
- To keep your HR system constantly revised and up to date
- To ensure you have everything in place in case of an expected or UNEXPECTED visit from UKBA
Up to the minute awareness of increasingly complex rules has become a mind boggling and awkward burden for sponsors. The Asian restaurant sector is under increasing pressure as Home Office intensify scrutiny on compliance management and legitimacy of your sponsor activities in terms of job roles occupied by your migrant workers.
If your business is reliant on skilled migrant workers it is essential you are continually up to date with increasing compliance needs and rule changes. Maintaining your HR system and dealing with very detailed sponsor duties and responsibilities needs close and frequent attention and expert management.
Sponsorship is often snagged by misinformation, errors and confusion (often by Home Office themselves and many legal ‘experts’), so it is vital you have a superior and accurate support system based on exceptional knowledge and understanding of your industry.
