Reform UK's proposed annual levy on employers hiring overseas staff is raising concerns among experts. The policy, which would impose higher national insurance rates and additional charges on non-UK passport holders, is expected to negatively impact the NHS, social care, and education sectors, potentially leading to staff shortages and increased operational costs.
Watch for potential staffing crises in the NHS and education as the proposed levy could deter overseas professionals, including those already contributing significantly. Monitor how this policy affects recruitment strategies and operational budgets in these critical sectors.
