Frequently Asked Questions
What does Home Office Staffing Regulations Compliance involve?
It involves managing relevant staffing documentation and following the Home Office requirements that apply to an employer. This may include right-to-work checks, evidence retention and additional sponsor duties where the business employs sponsored workers. F&A supports the accounting and payroll side of these processes.
Can F&A Accountants carry out right-to-work checks?
Our role is to support accounting, payroll and related record organisation. Employers must ensure prescribed right-to-work checks are completed correctly. Questions about acceptable evidence, online checks and immigration status should be directed to current official guidance or an appropriately authorised specialist.
What payroll records should hospitality employers keep?
Employers generally need records of employee payments, deductions, PAYE reports and payments to HMRC. Other records may be required for working hours, minimum wage, holiday pay and sponsored workers. Requirements and retention periods depend on the type of record.
Can you help restaurants and hotels with staffing compliance?
Yes. We help hospitality businesses organise payroll information, PAYE records, employee payment information and financial reporting. Our service can be adapted to the accounting needs of restaurants, cafés, hotels, takeaways, catering businesses and multi-site groups.
Do sponsor licence holders have additional record-keeping duties?
Yes. Sponsor licence holders must comply with the applicable sponsorship guidance, including relevant record-keeping and reporting duties. These obligations are separate from ordinary payroll administration and should be reviewed against current Home Office guidance.
