Sponsoring a Work Permit for contracting needs is body shopping and is ILLEGAL. It is clearly mentioned in the guidance notes. I remember James Dunlop the site admin here having made a mention of this.

If the Home Office finds out about this, you risk having the WP of everyone in your company CANCELLED.

Javaguy,

No offence, but the consultancy firm that you work for looks like to be no different than a contracting firm. You said the firm that you worked for sponsored your work permit and then sent you to various client location from time to time on different projects/assignments. This is similar to undertaking contracting assignments which is not legal for a work permit holder.

WP is a dead duck from 27th November as PBS comes into being for tier 2 & 5.
UKBA will also be cracking down on the use of these schemes previuosly employed to gain WP as they were seen as an abuse.

Under the new PBS system anyone who applies to enter the UK after 29th November 2008 will have to meet the PBS requirements.

PBS does not allow the same abuses to happen as the old WP system. So those companies that used to do the "sponsoring" of WP's so you could work as contractors for them are no longer able to do this.

Do not waste your time trying to find companies that offer this service as it will be illegal and almostly now bogus as they will not have the PBS licence that allows them to bring in overseas nationals as workers.

Any business offering to bring you in on a WP is obviously lying as WP are no longer issued.

Ok... let's clear this up a bit.

Umbrella companies are not illegal, nor are consultancies that offer sponsorship to consultants working on site for clients. What a previous poster has probably meant when he has mentioned various sites is the consultancy itself providing sponsorship and full time employment for the contractor. This allows them (Subject to suitable and legal contracts put in place) to work on projects for different clients. For example...

JAVA Consultant Sponsored on Tier 2 with ITCONSULT.

ITCONSULT draw up service based contract with BP for 6 month project. Consultant works on site in line with the contract in place.

Contract ends. Consultant still employed by ITCONSULT who are responsible for paying thier wage and their sponsorship, so will find another project for consultant.

ITCONTSULT draw up new contracts with new company (Shell for example) for 8 months and contractor, still under the same permit, employment, job title and wage stated on the sponsorship can start on the new project, providing a service to shell from ITC.

As far as i know, as long as you follow the guidelines legally and compliantly, ensuring that the consultant is paid, then this is perfectly Legal and a viable option for those coming to the UK to work. Please correct me if I am wrong seniors.

Umbrella companies are illegal - I should know I close them down!
Consultancy is less of a problem - if ALL the procedures are put in place to control and monitor OSN's. (Non UK EEA's)

They way you are employed is also suspect as how can the RLMT be demonstrated?
Also your location under PBS has to be at the company who employs you. When you are working away on another company's site for months on end how can that work out? Your location is not where it would be stated?
The PBS contact rules - how do you meet those requirements?

I am fairly sure your company is going to struggle when they get their first PBS compliance visit. One oversight or slip up and the licence will be pulled. Bye bye to all the OSN's in the company. Hope for your sake your employer is not in my area

"lso your location under PBS has to be at the company who employs you. When you are working away on another company's site for months on end how can that work out? Your location is not where it would be stated?"

The location stated is on the client site. This is agreed and detailed in the service agreement betweent the consultancy and the client. You are able to work on a site for up to 24 months before it is deemed permanent. Are you not?

And if umbrella companies are Illegal...

http://www.atlantic-umbrella.com/

http://www.work2live.co.uk/

http://www.computercontractor.net/

That should keep you busy for a while ^_^.

Frontier Mole · Post by **Frontier Mole** » Fri Dec 19, 2008 4:17 pm

And the above do not and will not get PBS licences - so as an OSN you can not be a tier 2 in an umbrella company. As I said illegal for OSN's other than Tier 1's as they can do as they please.

You might also want to note they also in the main do not have HMRC approval for their umbrella schemes. They fail on the compliance element for HRMC before even worrying about the rest of PBS requirements.

So what company do you say you work for?????

PaperPusher · Post by **PaperPusher** » Sat Dec 20, 2008 1:14 pm

These types of businesses should never get work permits, because the employer named on the permit should be responsible for the work that the work permit holder does. This not the case in umbrella companies or those that body shop or otherwise operate as agencies for IT or other staff.

Just because there is a service agreement does not mean that the employer is responsible for the staff member's work in practice.

Questions about team meetings & development/performance reviews weeds these people quite quickly.

No way they can operate legitimately as PBS sponsors.

HMRC also take an interest in these businesses.
