UK Government immigration policy will have huge impact on Restaurants, Hotels, Hospitality and food manufacturing industries
The UK Government new proposal proposed by that the EU migrants who want to come and work in the UK will have to meet a minimum salary threshold. Previously this amount was £23,000. The issue has been repeatedly highlighted by businesses and organisations which fears the wage threshold could leave a gaping hole in the county’s workforce and hit an industry. #Restaurants, #Hotels, #Hospitality and #food #manufacturing industries demanded to reduce minimum threshold of wages to £22,500 per year. Unfortunately, instead of decreasing, government has planned to increase well above to £30,000.
The Chief Executive of UKinbound Joss Croft said: “This timely research shows that the government must listen to the tourism industry before committing to an immigration system that runs the risk of forcing businesses to close throughout the UK. Our tourism industry is vital to the UK economy and EU workers are crucial to ensuring that this success story continues. We have a skills shortage in the UK, caused not least by low levels of language skills and a lack of interest amongst UK nationals in the sector. “The government must, as a first step, ensure that language skills are recognised as a key skills shortage and ensure that any future immigration system is rooted in what actually works and not in populist soundbites.”
The number of EU worker applicants have dropped by 70%. Weaker Pound and unwelcome environment have discouraged them to come to the UK. Our UK citizens are not very keen in applying in hospitality sector jobs. The policy of minimum salary threshold of £30,000 requirement will make difficult for employers to recruit EU workers, may be damaging in the short to medium term in their business and overall economy.
