What should we do after a civil penalty notice?
If the Home Office alleges illegal working, you may face a civil penalty. Strict deadlines apply to objections and appeals. We review the evidence, your checks and any statutory excuse, and prepare your response.

Risks & important considerations
Response options
The legal route depends on the penalty notice and facts. Do not assume paying immediately or ignoring the notice is the right response.
Proof of checking
The correct right-to-work check and evidence of when it was completed may be central to an objection or defence.
Wider sponsor risk
An illegal-working concern can have consequences beyond a financial penalty, including sponsor compliance scrutiny.
