Your Questions Answered: The UK’s Post-Brexit Points-Based Immigration System

On 1 January 2021, the UK’s new immigration system will come into effect. With the end of EU freedom of movement, employers wishing to hire foreign workers will have a new set of rules to navigate. In this session, we’ll be unpicking these new regulations and exploring their consequences for businesses.

On 17 Dec 2020, from 1 - 2 pm, Brighton Chamber CEO, Sarah Springford will be joined by Dr Peter Walsh, a researcher at the Migration Observatory, University of Oxford.

We’ll cover topics including:

• What employers need to do to ensure their employees have a valid leave to work in the UK
• Changes in the law
• What businesses need to do to employ foreign workers
• What new hiring processes will be required and how much new paperwork there will be
• How sponsor licenses work
• The challenges for smaller businesses and those in low paid sectors
• Skills levels and pay for future employees
• Are skills shortages expected and what can be done about this?
• How will the shortage occupation list work?
• What legislation is yet to be implemented?
