Responsibilities of Sponsored Visa Holder

To comply with the UKVI sponsor licence please be reminded there are set of responsibilities required by the sponsored visa holder:

Home address history

This needs to be recorded in the sponsored visa holders employment record. This can be recorded by the sponsored visa holder using the sponsored visa holder's address details form which can be accessed by them logging into MyERP, using the hyperlink:
myerp-beta.bristol.ac.uk/agresso/ 
Navigate to forms>Sponsored Visa Holder's Address Details.

To check the address details are up to date, the sponsored visa holder should navigate to MyDetails>MyDetails>My Personal Details> then click on the Spon Visa Address Details tab.

Please note, with any change of address there is also the requirement to overwrite the home address field in the contact details section on ERP to ensure that any University correspondence goes to the correct most up to date address.

Hybrid Working

We inform the Home Office if a sponsored visa holder is on a hybrid working pattern. If this pattern changes after the issue of the Certificate of Sponsorship, please send an email to the Staff Immigration Team and include the work locations address and the percentage split e.g. 50% Augustine's Courtyard, 50% home address.

Attendance Monitoring

Please be sure to ensure that the sponsored visa holder records their attendance in their outlook calendar, to include the following:
- Site visits
- Time off in lieu
- Annual leave
- Conferences
- Any other reason for not being at the recorded work location

It will be the responsibility of the sponsored visa holder to keep this information up to date and their line managers to ensure this is done.

Sponsored visa holders should save this webpage link to their favourites bar so they remember to ensure their records are kept up to date.
