EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the Immigration (Employment of Adults Subject to Immigration Control) (Maximum Penalty) Order 2008 to increase the maximum penalty which may be imposed by the Secretary of State under section 15(2) of the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006 on an employer who acts contrary to that section in the employment of an adult subject to immigration control. However, the effect of the transitional provision is that the amendment will not apply to any contravention which occurred solely before the coming into force of this Order.

An impact assessment of the effect that this instrument will have on the costs to business and the voluntary sector is annexed to the Explanatory Memorandum which is available alongside this instrument at www.legislation.gov.uk.
