Join HMRC’s National Minimum Wage (NMW) team and Borderless for a critical webinar on how to stay compliant when employing sponsored workers in the UK, especially in high‑risk sectors like social care. In this session, HMRC will share up‑to‑date guidance on common compliance failures and enforcement trends, with a particular focus on pay, working time and the practical challenges care providers face in applying the rules day to day. You’ll learn what investigators are looking for, how to self‑correct before penalties hit, and how platforms like Borderless help ensure your workforce remains fully compliant – including issues such as deductions that could bring workers below both NMW and visa salary thresholds. Whether you employ 10 or 300 sponsored workers, this webinar is a must‑attend to protect your organisation from fines of up to 200% of underpayments.
