Dive into an exploration of the remote work landscape in this piece authored by Partner Charlotte Wills and Lead Analyst Dominic Dietrich in collaboration with Work From Anywhere. Focusing particularly on its formalisation and regulation across the 38 countries of the OECD, they discuss remote work as a permanent fixture—one that is shaping global employment practices and prompting strategic adaptations among employers and governments alike.

Remote work has become increasingly popular across various industries. In this blog, we will explore the possibilities and limitations of working remotely as a Skilled Worker in the UK. >> https://lnkd.in/gPWhBwqU #skilledworker #workvisa #remotework #immigration #uk #london  #immigrationlawyer #lawfirm  #lawyer #ghersonsolicitorsllp  #ghersonllp 

Yet another update to the Sponsor Guidance was published this week - fairly limited changes this time around. In particular, the changes confirm the abolition of the licence renewal process (which we already knew about) and confirmation that sponsors no longer have to make reports where a sponsored migrant has a hybrid working arrangement so long as they continue to regularly visit their "traditional" work location (i.e. the branch/site named on the licence). We understood this was the approach being adopted by UKVI in practice (primarily to avoid a deluge of reports!) but it has taken them several months to codify the position in the Guidance. Interestingly, there is still a requirement to report entirely remote work with little or no requirement to attend business premises or a client site ("a contractual home worker"). In this case, the Guidance explicitly states that the Home Office reserves the right to explain why they need to be sponsored to come to the UK at all - if (for example) they could work remotely from their home country. This is certainly something which the team and I have seen in practice and is worth spending time exploring so that you can set out a clear business rationale to the Home Office. There is no guidance on what might be acceptable reasons, but the sorts of reasons which we have put forward have included practical ones such as time differences, data security, being able to attend occasional in person team meetings, or visiting key clients/suppliers in person. Of course, if you're not able to put forward a cogent reason there is a significant risk of challenge by the Home Office. #skilledworkers #immigrationlaw #sponsorlicence

Remote workers may want to think twice about trying to return to more restrictive on-site work, regardless of pay or visa sponsorship. Once you've tasted the freedom of Remote, being chained to a desk is a huge downgrade. I think back to the days of golden handcuffs working for investment banks, and realized that one can earn as much by simply moving your tax base out of the UK and then working for any enterprise... #jobs #dubai #uae #work #tech #remote #hybrid #onsite #emigration #expat #tax
