01.02.08 : Illegal Workers - New Penalties
Planned increases in civil penalties for employers of illegal workers came into force on 29th February 2008. We put out a warning last November concerning planned increases in civil penalties for employers of illegal workers. These increases will now come in to force with effect 29th February 2008. So be warned!
- The negligent hiring of illegal workers - fine up to £10,000 EACH worker.
- Knowingly hiring illegal workers - Unlimited fines and/or up to two years imprisonment.
Negligent hiring occurs when an employer hires an illegal worker without actually knowing he/she was illegal at the time of hiring. The amount of the actual fine will depend upon what checks the employer carried out; how thorough they were; how they co-operate with the Border & Immigration Agency and whether or not they had been fined previously.
Employers will be excused from liability if they have checked and copied the documents specified in the statutory lists.
