Comment on Chippie owner given ‘devastating’ £40,000 fine by Home office for allegedly illegal hire

I swear people just want to be unhappy.

We say we don’t want companies to illegally hire, yet when they do and face the consequences of it, we get stories like this.

We can’t have low fines, otherwise business just treat it as a cost of doing business… I’m sure we’ve all seen stories of big companies knowingly breaking the law and being fined pennies, and things like small companies fly tipping because occasionally being caught works out cheaper than proper waste management.

The onus is on the hiring company to check if the person has all the required paperwork and has a legal right to work.
