取られた措置: Lawyers acting on behalf of Mr Mawadzi told Sky News they will be challenging the decision to revoke its sponsorship licence, adding: "Our client denies all allegations and refutes the claim that they have hired more foreign staff than they had hours to allocate. "It is essential to comprehend the unique nature of the domiciliary care service industry, where hours are inherently variable and not guaranteed. "At the time of recruitment, our client employed migrant workers to address a significant number of unfilled hours in Brighton and Hove…The exact number of foreign staff currently employed, and the guaranteed hours cannot be precisely determined due to the non-static and demand-driven nature of the industry." The lawyers add that a "delay in payment" to staff occurred because "our client business accounts and commercial finance facilities were closed without sufficient notice" adding "all staff will be fully paid". They say: "We understand the concern raised regarding allegations that staff members paid agents for certificates of sponsorship through Renaissance… our company strictly adheres to transparent recruitment processes…Upon becoming aware of such incidents, Renaissance promptly involves relevant authorities." They add: "We provide comprehensive safety and sensitivity training to all employees" and say the allegation of losing contact with workers is untrue, telling Sky News that workers "who do not report back to the company are straight away reported to the Home Office within 10 days… apart from workers who have been reported to the Home Office, the sponsor is in contact with the remaining workers."
