RLMT: If salary range added, must the 28‑day job advert restart?

Published by a LexisNexis Immigration expert

Q&As

Resident Labour Market Test (RLMT)

When placing a vacancy under the resident labour market test (RLMT), a sponsor must retain a screenshot of the website taken on the day the advert first goes live, unless the advert itself shows the date it was posted, in which case the screenshot can be produced at any point while the listing remains valid. See Practice Note: Resident Labour Market Test. If the wording of the advert is altered, the screenshot held by the sponsor to meet the above requirement will not match the actual particulars of the role (including the remuneration package). This inconsistency could lead, on audit, to a finding that the RLMT process was not followed. To minimise the risk of non-compliance on this matter, it is advisable to repost the advert, capture the requisite screenshots on the first day it appears as required by the RLMT, and refrain from changing the advert’s contents throughout the minimum 28-day period...

Tomlin orders in England and Wales: CPR guidance on drafting, confidentiality, approval, variation, enforcement, limitation, CCA issues, court-specific requirements, sample wording and precedents

This Practice Note This Practice Note reviews mechanisms used in settling litigation. A Tomlin order consists of a consent order paired with a schedule. It operates to stay proceedings on terms that have been agreed. The provisions contained in the schedule may remain confidential. This Practice Note describes the scope of confidentiality attaching to the schedule and sets out how it differs from a standard consent order. Sample wording for a Tomlin order is included, alongside links to precedents, as well as guidance on court approval. It also addresses varying, setting aside and enforcing a Tomlin order, including the considerations the court will take into account when handling applications for each. Further guidance is provided on interpreting and applying the relevant provisions of the CPR; however, some courts and divisions impose very specific requirements for both drafting and approval, and for approaching the schedule and confidentiality issues. Accordingly, you must consider the particular rules and court guide provisions in the forum where your claim is proceeding when drawing up the Tomlin order...
