Legal Advice on Employment Rights for Individuals with Temporary Protection or a Ukraine Scheme Visa in the UK

People who arrived in the UK under the Ukraine Scheme or received temporary protection often face challenges accessing the labour market. They may be unsure whether they have the right to work, what documents to provide to employers, or how to avoid breaches of immigration law.

Legal advice in such cases is essential to ensure lawful employment, avoid deportation risks, and protect employment rights. This service is requested by job seekers, current employees, or those uncertain about the legality of their employment status.

Consultation on the Right to Work in the UK for Ukrainian Refugees

Ukrainians who received a visa under the Ukraine Family Scheme, Ukraine Sponsorship Scheme, or Ukraine Extension Scheme have varying rights and obligations depending on their status. The lack of clear guidance often leads to legal mistakes and employment refusals.

Solicitor’s actions:

providing a legal opinion on the client’s current immigration status and right to work in the UK;
analysing the client’s visa document or biometric residence permit (BRP);
checking for any restrictions and providing written clarification;
explaining legal risks of working with or without a contract.

Outcome: the client receives a written legal position on their ability to work officially, based on their conditions of stay in the UK.

Explanation of Employer Obligations and the Legal Employment Process

Even if a Ukrainian has the right to work, employers may not know how to properly formalise the employment, which can lead to refusal. Clarifying procedures helps avoid unlawful employment or fines.

Solicitor’s actions:

analysing the client’s specific situation and communications with the employer;
providing a step-by-step guide for employment in line with Home Office rules;
preparing a template letter or legal explanation for the employer;
explaining consequences of breaching employment or immigration law.

Outcome: the client knows how to prove their right to work and receives tools to convince the employer of their lawful status.

Consultations on Permitted Types of Employment and Protection of Labour Rights

Individuals with permission to work may face restrictions on the type of activity or discrimination. Legal consultation helps avoid violations and choose safe employment options.

Solicitor’s actions:

clarifying which types of work are permitted under the client’s specific status;
checking documents for any prohibitions on certain activities;
explaining the client’s rights when signing a contract, receiving wages, and seeking protection;
providing information about organisations to contact in case of discrimination.

Outcome: the client can make informed decisions about employment, avoid violations, and protect their interests as a worker in the UK.
