The exception is where the Tier 2 (General) annual limit applies, in which cases employers must request certificates under a monthly allocation. This ensures that places go to workers with the skills most in need and who will make the greatest economic contributions.</p><p>The entity sponsoring the worker needs to be sufficiently aware of their activities – that means the employer, rather than a representative body, is best suited to be the sponsor.</p> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis question first answered 11/09/2017 13:25:59 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis
