What is the risk of losing a key employee over a work permit problem?
Updated · Facts checked against the official sources below
It is real and usually avoidable. Permits are lost over salary or insurance below the terms, late extensions or job changes without a new permit, often discovered only at extension time. Checking terms every month removes most of the risk.
In detail
- Ask HR how salary is checked against permit terms, and how often.
- Know who is up for extension in the next six months.
- Make job changes go through a permit check first.
