Since 2008, this duty has been underpinned by a civil penalty scheme. In May 2014, this Government introduced measures making it simpler to check the immigration status of potential employees and at the same time doubled the maximum civil penalty to £20,000 for the employment of an illegal worker. The increased maximum civil penalty better reflects the harm caused by employing illegal workers, the costs to wider society and the unfair economic advantage derived from the activity.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>Where an employer knowingly employs an illegal worker the maximum penalty is two years\u2019 imprisonment and/or an unlimited fine.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>The number of offenders sentenced to immediate custody for offences related to employing illegal immigrants, in England and Wales, from 2009 to 2013 can be viewed in the table<\/p><p> <\/p><table><tbody><tr><td colspan=\"7\">Offenders sentenced to immediate custody for offences related to employing illegal immigrants, England and Wales, 2009 to 2013 <sup>(1)(2)<\/sup><\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><\/tr><tr><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Offence<\/td><td>Outcome<\/td><td>2009<\/td><td>2010<\/td><td>2011<\/td><td>2012<\/td><td>2013<\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><\/tr><tr><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><\/tr><tr><td rowspan=\"3\">Employing a person aged 16 and above subject to immigration control<sup> (3)<\/sup><\/td><td>Sentenced<\/td><td>29<\/td><td>4<\/td><td>2<\/td><td>1<\/td><td>1<\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>of which<\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Immediate custody<\/td><td>.<\/td><td>.<\/td><td>.<\/td><td>.<\/td><td>.<\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><\/tr><tr><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><\/tr><tr><td rowspan=\"3\">Employing a person knowing that they are an adult subject to immigration control <sup>(4)<\/sup><\/td><td>Sentenced<\/td><td>5<\/td><td>4<\/td><td>5<\/td><td>4<\/td><td>3<\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>of which<\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Immediate custody<\/td><td>1<\/td><td>.<\/td><td>2<\/td><td>1<\/td><td>.<\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><\/tr><tr><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><\/tr><tr><td rowspan=\"3\">Employing accession state national subject to worker authorisation in accession period <sup>(5)<\/sup><\/td><td>Sentenced<\/td><td>.<\/td><td>1<\/td><td>.<\/td><td>.<\/td><td>.<\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>of which<\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Immediate custody<\/td><td>.<\/td><td>.<\/td><td>.<\/td><td>.<\/td><td>.<\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><\/tr><tr><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>'-' = Nil<\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><\/tr><tr><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><td> <\/td><\/tr><tr><td colspan=\"7\">(1) The figures given in the table relate to persons for whom these offences were the principal offences for which they were dealt with.
