<p>The UK Government currently does not plan to pay the Settled Status Fee for its
non-UK EU citizen employees. The fee is set at an affordable rate (£65), less than
the cost of an UK passport. Outsourced workers are not employees of the Department
and therefore this would be a decision for their employers.</p><p> </p><p>The number
of non-UK EU citizens employed across the Civil Service is not consistently collected
across Government. It is therefore not possible to estimate the cost of paying the
settled status fee for non-UK EU nationals employed directly by the department.</p><p>
</p><p>We value the significant contribution made by EU citizens working in the Civil
Service and we want these colleagues to continue to play a full role in the work of
the Civil Service. We are committed to supporting our EU citizen employees across
the Civil Service, the important engagement with EU national networks across government
will continue over the coming months.</p>
