Sponsorship compliance and right-to-work checks

Before the offer letter

Test sponsorship eligibility, salary thresholds and right-to-work evidence by country and role before an offer is made. The check runs the role against the occupation list, the current salary threshold and the employer's licence or registration status, and returns the documents the candidate will need and the realistic decision window.

After the hire, the same record tracks the sponsor's reporting duties: start date confirmation, absences, changes of address or role, salary changes and permit expiry. Right-to-work evidence is stored with its check date so an audit can be answered from the file rather than from email.
