New measures make it 'harder' for migrant workers |
|
It has been reported that migrant workers will find it more difficult to enter the UK under new measures to be introduced in April.
The Home Office has revealed that migrant workers will find it more difficult to enter the UK under Tier 1 and 2 of the Points Based System, which will come into effect on Aril 1st, law-now.com reports.
Meanwhile, a recent report has found that no employment laws were broken at the Lindsey refinery by French oil company Total when it employed foreign staff there.
John Taylor, chief executive of industrial arbitrator Acas (Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service), said that there was "no evidence" of unlawful activity.
However, he added that there is "a source of tension around the Posted Workers Directive and its application to construction work and the UK's industrial relations system".
The report concluded that the interrelation of EU law, national agreements and additional local collective agreements can potentially cause confusion and disputes.
