Tuesday 4th March 2008 CBI Conference Centre, London
Summary
Symposium Events’ 4th Annual Employing and Vetting Non-UK
Nationals 2008 is the authoritative conference for employers
involved in recruiting and screening non-UK nationals. This unique
and timely conference features an update on the most recent
vetting rules and legislation surrounding both EU and non-EU
nationals. By attending you can ensure your vetting practices are
rigorous and fair, and avoid the risk of litigation. Hear the first
comprehensive analysis of the new Points Based System, as well
as details of the new fines for employing illegal workers. With an
impressive panel of leading UK immigration specialists, you can’t
afford to miss this critical event.
Background
With chronic skills shortages, rapid company growth and a
widening of the EU ‘talent pool’, there are many reasons why
more and more employers look abroad to recruit both skilled and
unskilled workers. But with eight in ten employers recruiting non-UK nationals, how can you ensure you are prepared for the
practical and legal challenges of recruiting overseas nationals, as
well as being prepared to tackle the more delicate issues of
discrimination and integration?
Why Should You Attend?
With rigorous legislation ensuring the fair and equitable
treatment of foreign nationals in the employment process, whilst
adhering to the skills requirements of British business,
employing and vetting non-UK nationals has become something
of a minefield for employers and applicants alike. Legislative
changes in immigration will be occurring each year between now
and 2010, so it is essential employers keep up-to-date to avoid
costly penalties. Employing and Vetting Non-UK Nationals 2008 is
the only event to give you comprehensive advice on the latest
legislative demands, as well as practical analysis on planning and
executing effective recruitment and integration strategies.
