The 10-working-day reporting rules, explained

Outline — TODO(founder): write and verify against "Workers and Temporary Workers: guidance for sponsors, Part 3" before publishing.

What counts as a reportable change

  • TODO(founder): non-starts, unauthorised absence, early endings, role/salary/ location changes — with the guidance references.

How the clock is actually counted

  • TODO(founder): working days, weekends, England & Wales bank holidays; worked examples including a deadline landing in the Christmas cluster.

Where sponsors get caught out

  • TODO(founder): "we told the worker's solicitor" is not a report; partial reports; assuming HR system notes count.

What a good report looks like

  • TODO(founder): factual, dated, complete; recording the SMS reference.

This is guidance based on published Home Office sponsor guidance, not legal advice. For advice on your specific situation, consult a regulated immigration adviser or solicitor.
