Son of Tier 2 PBS Dependant, employer wants to know if he needs to sponsor me.

Post by MNi27 » Sun Nov 26, 2017 11:55 am

Hi all, this is my first time writing here. I am 17 years old turning 18 next year March and I recently got an apprenticeship and my boss asked me for my information. I gave him my passport, BRP, and National Insurance number. On my BRP, it says I am "PBS Dependant", "Work Permitted", and "Leave to Remain". He noticed that it expires on the 13th of April 2019, which is during my 18 month apprenticeship period. However, next year April, my family can apply for ILR as we've lived in the UK for 5 years. My boss requires a written confirmation that:
  • we as an employer are not required to become your sponsor
  • you can freely work for us as an apprentice employee and
  • we have no reporting or any other obligations to any organisation (e.g. UKBA)

and I was wondering where can I get information on this from an official source?

If you guys can help me find a clause or something that proves this, that would be incredibly helpful as I can then proceed to sign my contract with my boss and training providers.

Sorry, I don't understand what exactly I am meant to be looking for in the guidance.

An employer only need to check that you have the acceptable right to work documents, as evidenced by your BRP.
