Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what her Department's policy is in cases where Tier 2 visa holders take 10 or more consecutive days of industrial action.

A Tier 2 and 5 sponsor is required to report, to the Home Office, any migrant they sponsor who is absent from work for 10 or more consecutive working days without permission. This should be done within ten working days of the 10^th day of unauthorised absence.

If a Tier 2 or 5 migrant is absent from work without pay for 4 weeks or more in a calendar year, their leave may be curtailed, taking into account all relevant circumstances.
