Employee irregularities .... 

 

Review underway .... 

[Slim]

Fair enough.

[Colin James]

I am sure there are a few more places like this. 

[Glenda Powell]

yes Colin you are correct, when I was a member of Regulatory Committee there were many, shops selling illegal items it was also found some of their staff should not of been in this country.

[Colin James]

As a result they now have to keep a log available showing details of persons employed, date of birth, passport details etc, is this not standard practice then?

 

Where I work, they have all of my details on file, name, date of birth, address, nationality, driving licence details, passport details, national insurance number etc.

[Glenda Powell]

although a different story, when I was visiting a friend in hospital recently we were talking to a nurse from the EU, and she told us she came here without a passport in our conversation with her.

Not sure how that works? 

[Glenda Powell]

We were talking about where we had been in the EU on holiday, I mentioned southern Italy as my favourite place  and that I would have to move quickly if i wanted to go back as my passport was about to run out, she told me I didn't need one as she had come here without a passport.

I travel a lot within the EU for work and pleasure and I can assure you I have needed my passport every time, so I agree with Mick, not sure how this works at all. I am sure there is another explanation to this story if you were to dig a bit more Glenda. 

[Glenda Powell]

I told her she was wrong you have to have a passport, I asked her how she got here without one, at that point she said she had to go without answering my question.

[Paul Jones]

I am not entirely sure what the law says bout illegal workers in the UK but I would imagine the restaurant owner will now face a very hefty fine and I expect these people to be deported asap.

Probably travelled on identity card issued from other EU states within EU.

Ah yes, never thought of that, of course.
