Episode one – Immigration and Employment issues relating to new visa costs

This 10 minute watch deals with the increasing cost of the UK visa process and the impact these changes will have on employers. The intersection between employment law and immigration is an interesting and topical one – prudent employers will have this on their radars as the implications of the visa fee and salary band changes mean that employers may need to actively consider reviewing their policy and decision making processes balancing fairness and compliance, with respect to their workforces.
