What should sponsors do if a sponsored worker changes employment or job roles?

When a sponsored worker changes employment or job roles, the appropriate procedure involves notifying the Home Office and issuing a new Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) if necessary. This is crucial because the Home Office requires sponsors to keep accurate records and ensure that any changes in the employment status of sponsored workers are documented properly.

Failure to report such changes can lead to compliance issues for the sponsor, including potential penalties or the risk of losing the sponsor license. Issuing a new CoS ensures that the sponsored worker has the correct documentation reflecting their new role and that the sponsor is in alignment with immigration regulations. This process is essential for maintaining transparency and legality in the sponsorship system, ensuring that the sponsored worker remains eligible to work in the UK under the terms of their visa.
