Dear Employer,  

If you employ international workers under the present Work Permit scheme you will no doubt be aware of the change to a PBS, points based system, that has now replaced the old Work Permit system.

The PBS is a framework that is used to establish both the employers and prospective employees eligibility for the issue of a Work Permit under the conditions that are laid down as a part of the Government managed migration strategy.  

Under the new scheme employers are required to apply to the UK Border Agency for “Sponsor” status and subject to meeting the strict requirements and audit may then be able to process and issue their own Certificates of Sponsorship using the secure on-line system.  

This is where we at Culturepot can help. We can guide you through the process, ensure that your systems and procedures are in tune with UKBA requirements and your in house teams fully understand the approval criteria for successful license applications.  

Our support is tailored to meet your changing circumstances from a single or occasional consultation to a fully outsourced service. We can smooth the path to gain and retain your sponsorship status and ensure that your  future overseas recruitment fully complies with the new regulations.  

Culturepot is registered with the OISC and has huge experience working with the UKBA and many major clients in the Catering & Hospitality sector including national hotel and pub restaurant groups.  

If you would like to discuss the PBS or your ongoing Work Permit requirements, or to find out more about our low cost Sponsorship Management Syetem Readiness Check service please don’t hesitate to contact us.
