Change of employer

Change of employer and its effect on residence and legal employment

A change of employer can affect both the right to work and a pending or existing residence matter. Before further action is taken, we assess the documents currently held, the stage of any proceedings and the terms of the planned new employment.

Change of employer

The consequences should be assessed before the new employment arrangement begins

The answer depends on the type of residence document, the basis of employment, whether proceedings are still pending and what exactly is changing. We assess these elements together before determining the next steps.

Scope of support

When we can assist

01

Planned change of employer

We assess the immigration and employment consequences before the new arrangement takes effect.

02

Change during pending residence proceedings

We determine what the change means for the pending matter and what further action is required.

03

Changes to position or employment terms

Where the employer remains the same but material conditions change, we assess whether those changes affect the existing legal basis.

Case management

Assessment based on the documents and status you actually hold

A general description of the procedure is not enough. The relevant course of action depends on the client’s current legal position.

01

Review of the current immigration position

We assess the residence document or pending proceedings together with the legal basis for work.

02

Order of the required actions

Where steps are required from the employee or the employer, we determine how they should be coordinated.

03

Further handling of the matter

After the assessment, we can manage the agreed formalities connected with the change.

A change of employment should be assessed from both the residence and employment perspective before it creates consequences for the client’s legal position.
