What is the change? Employer allocations for Tier 2 (Intra-company transfers) and Tier 2 (General) will expire on April 5, 2014.
What does the change mean? Employers must submit their projected allocations for 2014-2015 as soon as possible after Jan. 5, 2014.
Background: Under points-based sponsorship, allocation of CoS’s (which allow companies to sponsor non-European Economic Area employees and transferees) expires every year. Employers must submit an allocation request to the Home Office, estimating the number of ICTs and general Tier 2 they expect to need from April 6, 2014, to April 5, 2015, and stating the reason for those numbers. Approvals will appear on the sponsorship management system on April 6.
BAL Analysis: Clients should submit their allocation estimates as soon as possible, leaving sufficient time for the Home Office to process the request by April 5, 2014. Allocations that expire without renewal will seriously hinder companies from sponsoring Tier 2 workers.
