What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Home Office has been issuing civil penalties to companies found to have hired illegal workers. These fines can amount to up to £60,000 per individual if the company failed to conduct required pre-employment checks. Immigration Enforcement issued £288.6 million in civil penalties between 2021/22 and 2025/26.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Of the fines issued, only £66.4 million was ever collected, representing a shortfall of £222.2 million. This means 77 per cent of the civil penalties go unpaid. Experts suggest this reveals a fundamental weakness in the Home Office's illegal working crackdown.
