The Border and Immigration Agency (BIA) has published general guidance on the new rules that employers must follow when recruiting from 29 February 2008. In order to provide themselves with a "statutory excuse" and thereby avoiding the possibility of a penalty or even imprisonment for employing an illegal immigrant, employers must carry out document checks prior to the start of employment. Information is also provided about the "Employer Checking Service" offered by BIA to help employers who are uncertain about the validity of documents presented.
A comprehensive guidance booklet is also being prepared.
