Sponsor licence holders are required to report certain changes to the Home Office, or risk enforcement action. 

Any organisation that holds a sponsor licence has a duty to report to the Home Office not only any changes to the circumstances of a sponsored worker, but also to the organisation.

In broad terms, employers are responsible for checking that those they sponsor carry out the role for which they are being sponsored in the UK and for monitoring their attendance. As such, sponsors must notify the Home Office if a sponsored worker fails to show for work or is absent without permission, or if there are significant changes to their employment.

Additionally, sponsors are also required to inform the Home office if there is any significant change to the sponsor organisation itself. This includes a change of address, any changes to the key personnel named on the licence, as well as any relevant criminal convictions.
