The Home Office does not publish data concerning farm visits under the seasonal workers scheme.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Seasonal Worker team undertakes farm visits to check sponsor compliance by interviewing farm managers, checking worker accommodation and speaking to sponsored seasonal workers.<\/p>
<\/p>
If evidence of underpayment is identified, that is investigated in line with published Sponsor Guidance and action taken if necessary. UKVI do not compensate sponsored workers for loss of earnings.<\/p>
<\/p>
Anonymity is offered to workers speaking to our officers; workers are also able to report concerns via the online reporting tool. Full details of how to report information to the Home Office are available at: www.gov.uk/reportimmigration-crime<\/p>
<\/p>
Allegations of abuse should also be reported to the Gangmasters Labour Abuse Authority. Details of how to do this are available on the GLAA website, at: www.gla.gov.uk/report-issues/english-report-form/<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government keeps the Seasonal Worker route under close ongoing review.

The guidance for employers<\/a> and landlords<\/a> has been updated to explain that EUSS pre-settled status will be automatically extended before the original grant expires. The wording on the Home Office online checking service has also been updated to highlight the extension of pre-settled status.<\/p> <\/p> Therefore, if a right to work or right to rent check shows that a person is approaching the expiry date of their pre-settled status, employers and landlords will be aware, from the updated guidance and the updated wording on the online checking services, that a person\u2019s pre-settled status will be extended. Once a person\u2019s pre-settled status has been extended, the new expiry date will be reflected on the Home Office online checking services.<\/p>"}
