Immigration: No Visa for low-skilled workers, government says

Feb 19,2020 1:34 am

receive the Low-skilled workers Visa, which will be unveiled under the post-Brexit immigration plans by the government.

It urges employers to "Move Away " to "cheap labour" from Europe and invest in the retention of staff and the development of automation technology.

The Home Office said the EU and non-EU-citizens coming to the United Kingdom would be treated the same, according to UK-EU freedom of movement ends on December 31. December.

labour said the "Hostile Environment " will make it difficult to attract workers.

But said the home Secretary Priti Patel , the new System would mean "the brightest and The Best will be able to come to the United Kingdom ".

The government, which said it was with the aim of reducing migration to the UK, wants a "points-based" immigration System , as it promised in its election program.

according to the scheme, overseas workers, who wanted to come to the UK would have to speak English and have the offer of a qualified work with a "certified sponsor".

you would be awarded 50 points if they meet these criteria.

"Adapt and adjust"

overall, immigrants would have to achieve 70 points to work in the situation in the UK, with the points awarded for qualifications, to provide the salary and work in an industry with shortages.

But the government said it would not introduce a route for low-skilled workers, urging companies to "adapt and adjust" to the end of the free movement of persons between the EU countries and the United Kingdom .

"It is important that employers Move Away from a reliance on the British immigration System as an alternative to investment in employee retention, productivity, and greater investment in technology and automation," she said.

Instead, it was the name of the 3. 2 million EU citizens who have applied to continue to remain help in United Kingdom could comply with the requirements of the labour market.

The government also pointed to a quadrupling of the scheme for seasonal workers in agriculture to 10,000, as well as "youth mobility arrangements", which will allow 20,000 Young People in the UK each year.

While the CBI some of the proposals, said it welcomed, some firms would need to ask "the left, as you advertise, the people, their businesses run."

The Business lobby group, the General Director, Carolyn Fairbairn , said: "companies know that hiring from overseas and investing in the skills of their employees and new technologies is a 'either-or' Choice - both are necessary to the economy to the front. "

The UK Homecare Association described the lack of supply for workers with low wages in the proposals as "irresponsible", with a spokesman saying they were "dismayed" by the decision of the government.

"the cutting off of the supply of prospective care workers under a new migration System will not have to wait to pave the way for more people unnecessarily in a hospital, or go without care," they added.

The government's proposed immigration System provides a balancing act - broadening The Base of skilled workers while the flow those less-skilled jobs limit.

people want to come to the UK from countries outside the EU the rules are relaxed, such as the abolition of the cap on skilled workers-or The Drop -in-minimum salary.

But for EU migrants, which can be used to move freely between the UK and The Continent , the new regime is something of a shock.

visitors can come for six months without a visa, But you will not be able to work to provide those who must have skills, a job, and then deactivate, put the 70 points barrier, and there are no work permits for migrants willing to do menial work in restaurants, hotels, nursing homes and food establishments.

There is a certain degree of flexibility in the new structure. But the question is, will it be enough to prevent a shortage of labour and companies, which your business elsewhere?

the Following recommendations from the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC), the salary threshold for professionals who want to come to the United Kingdom would be reduced from £30,000 to £25.600 adjustable.

The Independent Advisory Board, argues that the lowering of the threshold would help teachers and specialists NHS staff.

in contrast to the current System , the candidate would also be able to trade points.

Those with an income of less than £25,600, But More Than £20,480, you could always apply for a visa, if you had a job, in a "specific shortage occupation" or a PhD relevant for The Job .

A list of shortage-would be called, held within the framework of the control by The Mac , the said government.

the contracts currently on The Mac shortage Occupation List: civil engineers, doctors, nurses, psychologists, and classical ballet dancers.

the Shadow home secretary, Diane Abbott said that the salary threshold System would "have to be so many exceptions, for the NHS, for social care and many parts of the Private Sector , i.e., it is meaningless".

she added: "Ultimately, it will be very difficult to attract the workers that the Tories' is, we need skills at all levels, while Hostile Environment . It needs to go. "

Proposed points-System Related requirements of the points job offer from a sponsor approved 20 Job at the appropriate skill level 20 English to the required level of 10 points for content points £20,480 – £23,039 0 £23,040 – £25,599 10 £25,600 or about 20 Additional points points Job in a shortage occupation 20 PhD in relevant job 10 Promotion in the relevant MASTER-theme 20

Under the new plan, it would no longer be a General upper limit for The Number of skilled workers, in the UK - One of the areas praised by the CBI.

the Following recommendations of MAC, the definition of the skilled workers would be expanded in the way that this was designed to A-level, not only at the high-school graduates, as is currently the case.

But the staff roles that would be removed from The List of skilled occupations, while new additions would include carpenters, plasterers and days mothers wait.

to show To study in the UK, foreign students the offer to know a place at an educational institution, English would need, and be able to support themselves.

Changes to The System are implemented by a immigration, the approval of MPs and peers need to come into force.

Liberal Democrat home Affairs spokeswoman, Christine Jardine , said the proposals were on the basis of "xenophobia".

The SNP's immigration spokesman, Stuart Mcdonald called it "half-finished, and catastrophic One -size-fits-no-Policy ."
