Better Dot Your I's And Cross Your T's

August 01, 2011 posted by Steve Brownstein

Two men from Bangladesh have been found working illegally at a Droitwich (UK) Spa restaurant.

The immigration offenders were caught following a UK Border Agency raid at the town’s Raj Tandoori restaurant, Queen Street.

Officers from the local immigration team for Warwickshire and West Mercia visited the site on Thursday, August 11.

Immigration checks revealed that two male members of staff – a 35-year-old who had entered the UK illegally and a 22-year-old who had overstayed his visa - were working illegally.

The UK Border Agency is working to remove both men from the country.

The Raj Tandoori also faces a potential fine of up to £20,000 - £10,000 per illegal worker – unless it can prove that the correct pre-employment checks were carried out.

Employers unsure of the steps they need to take to avoid employing illegal workers can visit ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/employers or they can call the UK Border Agency’s employers helpline on 0300 123 4699.
