​BREXIT: New UK Immigration System -  is your business prepared for the end of free movement of EU workers?

Fintech UK, Fintech Ireland and Fintech Northern Ireland are very happy to row behind this excellent event by Kerman & Co, foundation supporter of Fintech UK.  Brexit is an important topic for fintech not only in the UK and Ireland, but across Europe.  International fintech and financial services looking for a European fintech presence also need to stay on top of all things Brexit, including impact on employees. 

As the FT reported on 16 November 2020 - "A good rule with Brexit is never to talk about “crunch weeks” or hard deadlines, which tend to prove a whole lot squishier than expected. But this time, we really are approaching a critical moment."

Kerman & Co Webinar: New UK Immigration System: is your business prepared for the end of free movement of EU workers?

About this Event- Register Here on Eventbrite
With fewer than 45 days until the end of the Brexit transition period [Brexit countdown clock], this webinar will cover some of the key challenges businesses will face in continuing to recruit and retain talent from the EU.

From 1 January 2021, freedom of movement between the UK and EU will end and the UK will introduce a new immigration system. The way businesses recruit from the EU will change as a result, as the same visa rules will apply to both EU and non-EU citizens.

If you wish to sponsor the visas of EU or Non-EU nationals after 1 January 2021 you will need to apply for a Sponsor Licence from the UK Home Office. Employers also need to budget for the costs associated with visa applications and the lead in times for preparation and processing of a visa under the new immigration system. Essentially, if a business wishes to seamlessly maintain current staffing levels of EU employees, they need to take action ASAP.

In this webinar, Kerman & Co's Head of Immigration Stephen Hall will cover the following topics, aimed at assisting HR professionals or anyone involved with the recruitment of talent from the EU:

• Overview of the New Points Based Immigration System.

• How will the new immigration system affect my business?

• How will my current Tier 2 visa holders be affected by the new system?

• The minimum skill, education and salary thresholds required.

• How to satisfy the English Language requirement.

• Explanation of "tradeable" points.

• Advice for your existing EU workforce (the EU Settlement Scheme and Irish Nationals).

• How to apply for a sponsor licence.

• What are the costs and timelines to consider?

• Alternative visa routes and business visitors to the UK.

• Avoiding discrimination requesting right to work documentation from EU employees.

• Recommended plan of action for HR professionals.

• Q&A session
