The duties a compliance visit tests
A compliance officer can ask for any sponsored worker’s file, at any site. These are the duties that catch sponsors out most, and just a few of the ones Borderless checks continuously.
Records
Records that are never out of date
Right to work evidence, contact details, payslips and recruitment records for every worker, checked against the Home Office rules and flagged the day something goes missing.
Reporting
Every deadline, tracked and owned
Absences, salary or location changes and non-starters each start a clock. Every reportable change is flagged with its deadline, and the report is pre-filled for you.
Roles
The job matches the certificate
Job details and pay are checked against each Certificate of Sponsorship, so a pay cut or a change of role doesn’t break the terms without anyone noticing.
If it goes wrong
The consequences escalate quickly
A missing payslip or a late report looks small. Left unfixed, it becomes a licence problem, and a licence problem becomes a problem for every worker you sponsor.
Step 1
Compliance visit
The Home Office checks your records, often at short notice, and can ask for any worker’s file at any site.
Step 2
Action plan
Fixable gaps lead to a B-rating and an action plan you pay for and must complete.
Step 3
Suspension
You can’t assign new certificates while the Home Office considers what it found.
Step 4
Revocation
Sponsored workers’ permission is cut short, usually with 60 days to find a new sponsor or leave.
Fixable
Licence lost
Also at stake
Illegal working penalties reach £60,000 per worker for a repeat breach.

Questions we’re often asked
Does Borderless become responsible for our licence?
No. Your organisation stays responsible for its sponsor duties, and your key personnel stay named on the licence. Borderless gives you the checks, the deadlines and an IAA-regulated immigration adviser to review what goes to the Home Office.
Does it work across several licences and sites?
Yes. Each licence gets its own health score, and head office sees every site and entity in one view. Larger groups often start here.
We’ve already had a visit or a B-rating. Can you help?
Yes. Your adviser looks at what the Home Office found, what your action plan asks for, and how to close each point.
What does Appendix D actually cover?
Appendix D is the Home Office list of documents a sponsor must keep for each sponsored worker. It includes right to work evidence, contact details, salary records and evidence of how you recruited them. Borderless checks each file against it and tells you what’s missing.
