Cómo y cuándo realizar la Prueba del Mercado Laboral Residente

Las empresas del Reino Unido pueden depender de trabajadores migrantes para llenar vacíos en el mercado laboral, pero muchos desconocen el estricto procedimiento que se debe seguir antes de patrocinar. Los trabajadores migrantes pueden comenzar a trabajar después de la emisión de:

1. Certificado de Patrocinio
2. Solicitud de visa de Nivel 2 (General) o (Transferencia entre Empresas)

Durante el proceso de solicitud de patrocinio de nivel 2, el empleador debe haber seguido y cumplido con los requisitos de la Prueba del Mercado Laboral Residente. La Prueba del Mercado Laboral Residente cubre todos los aspectos de la etapa de reclutamiento, incluyendo la publicidad de empleo.

Exemptions

The employer may not need to carry out the Resident Labour Market Test if one of the below exception applies:

• The job is in the Tier 2 Shortage Occupation List

Next Steps

If the employer has complied with all the above and can justify that no settled worker can fill the position, the employer has successfully completed the Resident Labour Market Test. It is important to note that the test is but one of several requirements set by the Home Office prior to sponsoring a migrant worker. Once the above test and other aspects of the Sponsorship and Visa applications are completed correctly, this will allow for diversity and growth in business.
