The UK hospitality sector is facing a critical staffing crisis exacerbated by the new higher salary threshold for skilled overseas workers, which began in April.
Despite Prime Minister Starmer assuring businesses they would not be deprived of necessary workers, the government’s inaction on the salary threshold is worrying for the future.
With migrant workers making up a significant portion of the UK hospitality workforce, the raised salary threshold is straining businesses, especially in London.
Estimates suggest that 95 percent of sponsored visas for chefs and managers may not meet the new salary criteria effective next year, creating a precarious situation.
