Contractor's right with visa issues

[Zigenare]

No offence but I don't think this is correct. In my experience, the agency/recruitment company carries out right to work Or visa checks on behalf of the end client so the ball stops on their table. Unfortunately they are not being flexible to accommodate this hence my question

*looks at forum heading* Good, as at 07:10 10/08/2019 it's in General.

Looks like he/she/it will be going home then.

Oh well.

That's what rules are for.

Two possibilities.

1. It's not up to them, their hands are tied
2. They can do it, but don't want to, because they no longer wish to have a contractual relationship with your friend for some reason. He must have done something pretty bad to not want to continue making money out of him.

Either way, your friend has no redress.

Is he planning to work through an umbrella or through a Ltd?
