This group of reports will help you to manage different aspects of immigration and right to work, including tracking visa expiry dates and early leavers, and monitoring the presence of accurate right to work data held in PeopleXD.
There are three reports in this folder (see also below): Visa expiry dates provides details of all visas that are due to expire between the dates selected; Early leavers provides details of all employees with a visa end date who have left the University or ended their current appointment earlier than their visa expiry date; Current staff details provides details of all current employees (including 'non-employees'), along with their right to work screen data.
The reports are designed to be exported to Excel for further manipulation and analysis.
Why run reports in this folder?
There are three main reasons for running these reports:
- To identify workers and employees who are on time-limited visas, to enable identification of those requiring checks to ensure they have continued right to work.
- To identify workers and employees who have limited permission to stay (ie have provided a document from List B) who leave their appointment or the University earlier than their visa expiry date, to remind you to notify the Staff Immigration Team to ensure adherence to Home Office reporting requirements.
- To enable monitoring of completion of the mandatory right to work screen in the People Management module.
When should you run these reports?
On a regular basis to ensure that no staff continue working beyond their current visa expiry date, without evidence of continued right to work being seen by the employing department.
For those departments who have a number of employees on Skilled Worker/Tier 2 and Tier 5 visas, the Early leavers report should be run monthly after the payroll deadline to identify any early leavers. Note that this should be considered as a back-up exercise to ensure no changes have been overlooked. The Staff Immigration Team must be notified of relevant changes within five working days to enable them to notify the Home Office within the required timeframe.
These reports should be run regularly to ensure that work permits are managed appropriately.
