We are looking to employ several Indonesian engineers to work on an offshore platform for a period of 6-12 months. Can someone advise: 1. Paperwork required for them to work for a Ltd company (UK permit to work, visitors VISA etc)? 2. How we pay/tax them? 3. As a UK employee, do they qualify for all UK employee rights the same as any UK based employee (i.e. minimum wage, holiday pay, sickness pay etc)? Thanks in advance for your help

Hi ,
 
For advice on Visas you will need to speak to the home office.

Provides details of what is required for offshore workers.

Entitlement to holiday pay etc is a contractual matter and can be answered by ACAS.
