Atypical & Flexible Working
If UKVI visit your organisation as part of assessing your sponsor licence application, they will give a score of “met” or “not met” for your HR systems i.e. whether you have systems in place that allow you to know when a migrant has not turned up for work, or to identify when their current leave is coming to an end.
