Do you wish to employ non-EEA Nationals?
Employers wanting to engage non-EEA Nationals now have to advertise jobs in the UK for four weeks.
This has replaced the previous requirement for Tier 2 of the points-based system to advertise jobs for two weeks, or one week for jobs where the salary is £40,000 or more.
To provide flexibility to employers, the four weeks will not need to run continuously. This will mean that employers will be able to advertise skilled jobs for shorter periods initially - for example, for two weeks. This ensures that, where resident workers are available, they can quickly be recruited to skilled jobs.
Where there are no suitable resident workers available, the resident labour market must be tested for a further two weeks, making four weeks in total, before employers can appoint a migrant worker.
