Uzbekistan:
Важное уведомление для граждан Узбекистана:
Дорогие заявители, в связи с большим количеством достоверных сообщений о вмешательстве третьих лиц в процесс регистрации, прошедший в пятницу, 10 января, HOPS вынужден перенести предстоящий этап набора в Узбекистане.
Хотя мы понимаем, что это станет большим разочарованием для тех, кто зарегистрировался в пятницу, мы обязаны обеспечить надежность и прозрачность нашего процесса набора.
Если у вас есть доказательства того, что третьи лица взимали деньги за обеспечение места в программе сезонных рабочих Великобритании, и вы хотите помочь в нашем текущем расследовании, мы призываем вас написать нам в complaints@hopsls.com.
Обратите внимание, что в настоящее время мы не можем отвечать на общие запросы. Спасибо за понимание.
Information for returnees
All countries:
-
Prospective returnee workers – except under exceptional circumstances – must receive an invitation from a farm they have previously worked on.
-
Prospective returnees must therefore let their former manager know that they wish to participate in the SWS again, and enquire as to whether the farm would like to invite them back.
-
If the farm agrees to invite a worker back, it will inform HOPS of the decision. The worker will then receive a new invitation, with all the relevant placement information, via the Gateway.
