Interview
Two accounts, one week
The AO says 37.5 hours. The worker describes regular extra nights. Both are recorded as separate claims.
Temporary Shortage List (TSL) & Immigration Salary List (ISL) rules change on 1 January 2027, based on the MAC's recommendations, subject to Home Office confirmation. Map which of your sponsored workers and planned CoS hires across Care, Hospitality, and Construction are affected. See the impact
Inquivra rehearses your Home Office visit, checks every answer against your CoS, payroll and rotas, and shows exactly what to fix, including when the rules or shortage lists change — keeping you ready for sponsor duties day to day.

Rota shows +17% over CoS hours — outside the 10% tolerance in SW-HRS v1.
We never coach workers to give false, rehearsed, or misleading statements. Coaching workers is a serious compliance breach. Inquivra locks worker responses as read-only, never displays model or suggested answers during check-ins, and requires dated documentary evidence plus a reviewer's written reason before any finding can be closed.

These figures describe overall enforcement and the size of the sponsor register — not how many cases were caused by interview contradictions or could be prevented by software.
How it works
Visits can include document checks and interviews with sponsors and workers. Inquivra rehearses exactly that — and traces each contradiction back to the person, the record and the rule.
See it with demo dataPick a worker and enter a minimal CoS and employment baseline with evidence references.
Separate question paths for the AO or HR lead and a participating worker, with an informed participation notice.
Answers are checked against CoS, contract, rota, payroll and recorded changes.
Mismatches appear as evidence-linked review items — never accusations — with targeted follow-ups.
Replace a payslip or correct an answer and only the linked findings reopen, with history kept.
Verified facts, open issues, rule references and an evidence index — clearly labelled as rehearsal output.
Between visits
HR reporting duties
Each HR change becomes a tracked SMS reporting duty with a 10 or 20 working-day countdown, a recorded reference and a separate reviewer check.
Per-pay-period salary checks
Hours and pay are compared each pay period, with ineligible allowances excluded, so a possible shortfall is flagged early.
Guidance-change impact
When a rule or shortage list changes, see which workers and planned hires it could affect — only those findings are rechecked.

Rehearsal scenarios
Night shifts and multi-home rotas drift from CoS hours.
Split sites and seasonal hours change week to week.
Site moves, subcontracting chains, variable site rotas and bundled travel/lodging allowances — plus exposure to the 1 Jan 2027 TSL/ISL change.

We thought our files were tidy. The rehearsal showed our rota and the CoS disagreed on hours for two carers — we fixed it with evidence weeks before anyone asked.
