Multi-site Employers
Multi-site sponsor licence compliance
Many locations. One licence. One compliance position.
Sponsoro gives multi-site employers a single view of every sponsored worker across every location, so changes made locally are assessed centrally and nothing depends on a site remembering to tell head office.

Why multi-site is harder
The licence is central. The changes are not.
- Worker transfers between sites are work location changes.
- New locations may need adding to the licence.
- Right to Work practice drifts apart between sites.
- Evidence is filed locally, in different ways, on different systems.
- Head office finds out about changes after the deadline has started.
- A compliance visit at one site reflects on the whole licence.
The Home Office does not assess your best site. It assesses the licence, using whichever site it happens to visit.
Where problems start
The duties that catch multi-site sponsors
Transfers reported late or not at all
A worker moving between locations is a reportable change, but the move is usually treated as an internal operational matter.
Unregistered work locations
A new branch or site where sponsored workers are based may need to be reflected on the licence within 20 working days.
Inconsistent Right to Work practice
If each site checks differently, the organisation cannot be confident it holds a statutory excuse everywhere.
Evidence that cannot be produced centrally
Records held in local drives and filing cabinets fail the requirement to produce them on request.
No single accountable view
The Authorising Officer relies on assurances from regional managers rather than on a position they can see.
Uneven readiness
Well-run sites mask weak ones, and an unannounced visit does not let you choose which site is inspected.

FAQ
Questions we get asked
Do I need to tell the Home Office about a new site?
A new branch or location is normally reportable within 20 working days, and where sponsored workers will be based there the position should be confirmed rather than assumed.
Is moving a sponsored worker between our own sites reportable?
A change of work location is normally reportable within 10 working days. Internal transfers are still changes of location, even though they involve no change of employer.
Can each site see only its own workers?
Sponsoro is designed so central teams see the whole licence position while site and regional users work with their own locations, against the same rules and the same record.
Which site would the Home Office visit?
Any of them, and possibly without notice. That is why readiness needs to be even across locations rather than concentrated where the compliance lead sits.
