An application for the renewal of a General Employment Permit for the person referred to by the Deputy was received on 4th October 2016. Having considered all the available information, a decision to refuse to grant an employment permit issued on 18th November 2016. The reasons therein included that it appeared from information submitted that the foreign national did not receive the annual remuneration stated on their previous employment permit and that the foreign national is now being employed by a different employer.

A request for review of that decision was received from the applicant on 12th December 2016. We are currently processing requests for reviews received at the end of September and, accordingly, this application will receive consideration as soon as possible.
