Daca ai COA si vreo “agentie” ti-a promis ca poti sa muncesti imediat

In atenția tuturor celor care detin COA (certificat de aplicare) si încă asteapta răspunsul la aplicația de rezidenta ( EU Settlement Scheme):


Am văzut foarte multe postari MINCINOASE ale unor agentii de recrutare, cum ca va pot angaja IMEDIAT ce le prezentati UAN( codul unic de referinta, format din 16 cifre, care incepe cu 3434), care se afla pe certificatul de aplicare COA.
Ceea ce fac ei, și dumneavoastra, fără sa aveti vreo vina, este ILEGAL!!
Acel certificat de aplicare, pe care l-ati primit cand ati aplicat pentru rezidenta, va da drept de muncă DOAR DUPA CE SE FACE O VERIFICARE A DREPTULUI DE MUNCA LA HOME OFFICE (verificarea se numeste ECS Checkhttps://www.gov.uk/employee-immigration-employment-status ). Aceasta verificare se poate face doar de catre angajator, termenul de răspuns din partea HO fiind de 5-7 zile lucratoare.
Acum, fiind mare criza de muncitori, și firmele de recrutare riscand sa-și piarda clientii, acestea posteaza ANUNTURI MINCINOASE.
ESTE ILEGAL SA MUNCITI FARA A FI PRIMIT IN PREALABIL DREPT DE MUNCA DIN PARTEA HOME OFFICE!!
In aceasta perioada de 5-7 zile lucratoare ( uneori și mai mult), daca sunteti chemat imediat la munca, dumneavoastra veți munci LA NEGRU, probabil vi se va da un payslip făcut in Excel, vi se vor retine taxe , dar acestea nu vor FI niciodata platite catre HMRC pentru ca agenția de recrutare nu va poate declara ca angajat pana in momentul sosirii raspunsului la ECS Check. Dacă va declara, comite o ilegalitate pentru care este amendata cu sume exorbitante, plus firma risca sa fie inchisa! In plus la o simpla verificare dumneavoastra veți pierde dreptul de a mai munci in UK și riscati sa fiți expulzati, cu interdictia de a mai reveni!!
Asadar, mai ales cei care ati venit pentru prima data in UK după 31.12.2020, și stiti ca nu va calificati din start pentru EU Settlement Scheme, aveți grija ce faceți. Calea legala este sa va intoarceti in Romania, sa cautati de munca in Uk la o companie care are licenta de sponsorizare, sa primiti de la ei certificat de sponsorizare și in baza ofertei de la ei, sa aplicati pentru viza de muncă!

(aveti in pozele atasate: 1.ce anume va confera COA, 2.un exemplu de promisiune mincinoasa de angajare imediata, 3.cum arata ceea ce vede angajatorul la verificarea ceruta la Home Office, si 4.amenda de care e pasibil angajatorul pentru angajari ilegale.)
