MAC Report 2018

Last updated: 24/09/2018

On the 18th September 2018, the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) recommended there should be a less restrictive system for higher-skilled workers than for lower-skilled workers in a system where there is no preference for EEA workers over non-EEA workers.
 
Therefore, if the Tier 2 (General) is introduced to cover EEA citizens MAC recommended the following:


  • Abolition of the Tier 2 (General) cap of £20,700
  • Medium-skilled jobs should be eligible for Tier (2) General not just high- skilled jobs which is at present
  • The salary threshold at £30,000 should be retained
  • The Immigration Skills Charge should also cover EEA citizens
  • Abolition of the Resident Labour Market Test (RLMT)
  • Tier 2 change of employment applications in country should be made easier.
  • Expanding the shortage occupations list to meet current needs
  • Expanding the Tier 5 Youth Mobility scheme rather than employer-led sector-based routes
 
These changes would allow more flexibility for medium -skilled workers, any many employers would benefit from the Tier 2 system. It will allow the system to be fair and not giving preference to EEA workers. Therefore, many occupations will be eligible for the Tier 2 visa and the process should be easier without the RLMT.
 
If you have many EEA nationals working for you should consider becoming a sponsor so you are ready if these changes are announced. Please contact us on +44 (0) 1933 448 640 or info@people-force.co.uk
