Free Sponsor Licence Compliance Risk Check for UK Employers
This free Sponsor Licence Compliance Risk Calculator is designed for UK employers who hold, or are preparing to apply for, a sponsor licence and want to identify possible compliance weaknesses before they become a serious issue.
The calculator reviews key areas commonly considered in sponsor licence compliance, including right-to-work evidence, visa expiry monitoring, sponsored worker files, Certificate of Sponsorship details, salary and hours records, work location changes, SMS reporting, absence monitoring and internal compliance procedures.
It is suitable for care homes, healthcare providers, hospitality businesses, construction companies, education providers, recruitment businesses, retail employers, technology companies and other UK organisations employing sponsored workers.
What Does the Calculator Check?
- Right-to-work checks
- Visa expiry monitoring
- Sponsored worker files
- CoS job duties, salary and working hours
- SMS reporting, absence monitoring, business changes
- Authorising Officer, Key Contact and Level 1 User details;
- Home Office audit, warning, suspension or compliance action risk
How Should You Understand Your Result?
- Low Risk - Your systems may be broadly organised, but sponsor duties are ongoing and records should still be reviewed periodically.
- Medium Risk - Your answers may suggest gaps in HR records, right-to-work checks, SMS reporting, sponsored worker files or internal compliance processes.
- High Risk - Your answers may suggest significant compliance exposure. A sponsor licence mock audit or urgent compliance review may be appropriate.
- Disclaimer: This free calculator provides a preliminary compliance risk indication only. It is not a full legal audit, compliance audit or substitute for tailored professional advice. Sponsor licence duties depend on the facts of each organisation, the relevant worker route and current Home Office sponsor guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions:
What is a sponsor licence compliance risk calculator?
A sponsor licence compliance risk calculator is a preliminary tool designed to help UK employers identify possible weaknesses in their sponsor licence systems, including right-to-work checks, SMS reporting, sponsored worker files and HR record keeping.
Is this calculator the same as a Home Office audit?
No. This calculator is not a Home Office audit and is not a full legal or compliance audit. It provides a preliminary risk indication based on your answers.
Can this calculator guarantee that my sponsor licence is compliant?
No. The calculator cannot guarantee compliance. A proper assessment requires review of your HR records, sponsored worker files, SMS history, payroll records, right-to-work evidence and internal processes.
What happens if my result is Medium Risk?
A Medium Risk result suggests that some areas may need review. You may benefit from a sponsor licence compliance audit, right-to-work review, SMS reporting review or ComplianceGuard setup.
What happens if my result is High Risk?
A High Risk result suggests that your organisation may have significant compliance exposure. You should consider a detailed sponsor licence mock audit or urgent compliance review.
Do care homes need sponsor licence compliance audits?
Care homes often employ multiple sponsored workers and may have additional compliance pressures because of shift patterns, payroll records, work locations, staff turnover and visa expiry monitoring. A mock audit can help identify issues before they become serious.
How often should sponsor licence holders review compliance records?
Employers should review sponsor licence records regularly, particularly before assigning further Certificates of Sponsorship, after HR staff changes, after business changes, or where there has been no recent independent compliance review.
Can E&S Consultancy help after I complete the calculator?
Yes. E&S Consultancy UK Limited can assist with sponsor licence mock audits, right-to-work compliance reviews, SMS reporting reviews, sponsored worker file checks, remedial action planning and ComplianceGuard immigration compliance software setup.
