Robert Jenrick says a future Reform UK government would introduce a “migrant worker levy” that charges employers for overseas workers. According to the reports, the levy would apply to businesses employing non-UK workers and would be set at up to £3,750 per employee, linked to pay at the minimum wage level. The announcement is presented as part of a wider pledge to “put British workers first.” The articles describe the levy as a cost imposed on employers if Reform UK wins a general election, framing it as a mechanism affecting the employment of overseas workers. The coverage does not provide further detail on how the levy would be calculated beyond the stated maximum and minimum-wage reference, nor does it include information about eligibility rules, exemptions, enforcement, or expected impacts. The reports attribute the proposal to Jenrick and connect it directly to an electoral outcome, indicating it would only take effect if Reform UK forms the government.
