In this episode of the Employment Law Podcast by Constantine Law, Alex Finch and Rebecca Tester unpack the UK Government’s new consultation on “earned settlement” and what it could mean for migrants and employers.
They break down the proposals in the policy paper A Fairer Pathway to Settlement, including:
- Increasing the standard settlement period from five to ten years
- New points-based criteria that can speed up—or extend—routes to ILR
- Accelerated options for high earners and certain public sector roles
- Longer routes for those who have accessed public funds, entered unlawfully, or overstayed
- Concerns for health and care workers, medium-skilled workers, and dependent family members
- Expected timelines and practical steps companies should consider now
A clear, concise overview of one of the most significant proposed shifts in UK immigration law for years.
