Adviser conversation

Reviewed 14 March
Salary position discussed. Follow up next quarter.
Next review: June
Since that conversation
- Hours changed — salary needs review
- Location change — reporting window open
- Right to Work still current
2 actions need attention
Review workerWe don't replace your adviser
We add the operational layer between conversations.
Your adviser remains the source of professional advice.
Sponsoro becomes the operational compliance system.
Advice is episodic. Duties are continuous.
You call when something is hard. The licence still moves on ordinary days.
An adviser conversation answers a question. Sponsor duties keep arriving as ordinary HR activity.
Between those conversations, someone still needs to notice:
- A salary changes
- Hours are reduced
- A worker moves site
- Someone leaves
- A Right to Work follow-up approaches
- A document expires
Those are operational events, not advice questions.
Last adviser note

Reviewed 14 March
Position discussed. No further action at this time. Review again if hours or role change.
The gap between reviews
The risk is rarely the advice you received. It is what changed afterwards.
Did this affect a sponsored worker?
Does it need reporting?
Does the salary still meet the requirement?
Is evidence missing?
Who owns the next action?
Can we explain this later?
Sponsoro is designed to keep those questions attached to the live record.
Going-rate assessment is operational work
Your adviser can judge a difficult salary position. Sponsoro can re-check the ordinary ones every day.
Salary assessment

Weekly hours

Annual salary
£42,500
Reason: Recalculated going rate at actual hours exceeds qualifying salary.
Next step: Review before the next payroll cut-off. Take advice if the position is unclear.
Working-day deadlines do not wait
A location change is an HR update. For a sponsored worker it may also start a countdown.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does Sponsoro replace our immigration adviser?
No. Sponsoro manages compliance information and operational workflows. Individual immigration advice remains the responsibility of an appropriately regulated professional.
Can Sponsoro give immigration advice?
No. Sponsoro provides compliance information — what changed, which rule was assessed, what evidence is on file and what still needs review. It does not provide regulated immigration advice or legal judgement.
Why would we need both an adviser and Sponsoro?
Advice is episodic. Sponsor duties are continuous. Your adviser answers the hard questions when they arise. Sponsoro re-checks salary, Right to Work, reporting and evidence every day so those questions are asked against a current picture rather than a reconstruction.
Will Sponsoro tell us what to report to the Home Office?
Sponsoro can surface events that may need reporting and apply working-day deadline logic for review. Whether and how you file remains a decision for your organisation, with professional advice where required.
Can we share Sponsoro records with our adviser?
Yes. A current worker record, the assessment behind each flag and the evidence attached to it is a better brief than reconstructing the last quarter from spreadsheets and email.
Is Sponsoro useful if we already have a retained adviser?
Yes. A retained adviser is still not watching every salary change, hours change and evidence expiry between conversations. Sponsoro narrows that gap and shortens the time you spend preparing for the next review.
