The deadline for staff to apply for EU Settled status is now less than 50 days away DO YOU employ EU Citizens? Have your staff applied for Settled Status? With applications for Settled Status to be in by June 30, 2021, NFU Scotland’s policy team has reminded affected businesses that 'time is of the essence' to avoid disruption. The UK Government’s EU Settlement Scheme ensures that any EU citizen who does not already have indefinite leave to remain, and who was living and working in the UK in a seasonal, temporary, or permanent capacity before December 31, 2020, can retain their rights to live and work here.
