Are you fully abreast of a recent amendment to The Asylum and Immigration Act of 1996, specifically Section 8? If you aren’t, right now you’re at risk of criminal prosecution – at a minimum. The maximum punishment for failing to comply with this amendment is incarceration. But if you’re lucky, instead of jail you’ll only receive a stiff penalty for each violation.

Before you run frantically to the nearest law library, relax. All this amendment requires is that you make a reasonable attempt to verify the documents presented to you by any non-EU foreign national age 16 or older that you intend to hire.

If you’re wondering why the penalties for failing to make a reasonable attempt are so high it’s because the Home Office wants you to pay close attention so you can help identify individuals who shouldn’t be living or working in the UK.

The Section 8 amendment is your defense. That’s why everyone in your organization who’s involved in the hiring process needs to understand what’s expected of them once work VISAs and other identifying documents are in their possession.

Anyone interested in learning how to comply with the Section 8 defense should immediately read more. While there, take time to learn more about Simply Personnel HR software and Personnel Software, a multi-featured program that, among other things, helps your organization comply with this and other important employment laws.

Complying with the law is easy when you’ve got the right tools in your arsenal like HR software.
