THE EU SETTLEMENT SCHEME FOR EMPLOYERS?
The EU settlement scheme mean for employer’s duty is not to discriminate against EU citizens in light of the UK’s decision to leave the EU as both a prospective and current employer. Current ‘right to work’ (e.g. EU passport and/or national ID card) apply until the end of 2020.
There will be no change to the rights and status of EU citizens living in the UK until 2021. Employers are not expected to pay/support the cost of the EU Settlement Scheme application for your EU citizen employees and they are welcome to do so at your discretion.
There is no legal obligation for an employer to communicate the EU Settlement Scheme, however, you may wish to signpost the information that the Government is providing. They do not have to interpret information provided by the Government but they cannot provide immigration advice.
WHAT DOES THE TOOLKIT CONTAIN?
The employer toolkit contains relevant materials for you and your employees, including a practical communications plan. These can be downloaded and used before the EU Settlement Scheme goes live. The Scheme will be phased in later this year, and will gradually open more widely until it is fully open by the end of March 2019.
