EEA Citizens Right to Work in the UK - Deadline 30th June 2021
Alan Kitto
On 30th June 2021, all EEA citizens that haven’t provided their employer with evidence of either ’settled status’,’pre-settled status’ will cease to be eligible to remain and hence work in the UK.
Unless the UK Government extends this deadline, and there’s no indication that they will, it will be illegal for you to employ an EEA citizen in the UK after 30th June 2021 and the UK immigration authorities can levy significant fines on employers for doing so.
I am aware that some EEA citizens have applied for and been granted British citizenship and this will allow the to continue to live and work in the UK without the need for the above.
If you have any questions or need any advice on specific employees who have not provided the necessary documentation, please get in touch.
