What is SAWS?

SAWS - the Seasonal Agricultural Workers Scheme has existed for a long time. It is a scheme which allows seasonal agricultural workers from other countries to come and work in the UK for a limited period of time, particularly during the planting and harvesting seasons. Experince has shown that under the Seasonal Agricultural Workers Scheme SAW, many seasonal agricultural workers are willing to return every year to work on the same farm when they are needed. This offers a great advantage to farmers who need seasonal labour.

What's the reasoning behind the Seasonal Agricultural Workers Scheme SAWS?

Farmers and growers in the UK find it difficult to find farm workers to meet their changing seasonal agricultural labour needs, particularly during the harvest season when they need the most workers. A low level of unemployment in the UK and the short-term seasonal nature of agricultural work, makes it difficult for farmers and growers to compete with other types of industry for the workers they desperately need. The Seasonal Agricultural Workers Scheme was created to directly address this need.

The SAWS Advantage

SAWS is seen as an essential source of seasonal labour for the agriculture industry. The seasonal agricultural workers scheme provides reliable labour which farmers and growers know they will receive at the right time for the planting and harvesting seasons. In an industry where a considerable amount of illegal workers exist, farmers and growers are happily reassured that workers found through the seasonal agricultural workers scheme SAWS is both legitimate and reliable.

Other programmes which enable foreigners to work in the UK are the Harvesting Opportunities Permit Scheme HOPS,

the Highly Skilled Migrant Programme HSMP, the Skills Shortage Occupations Scheme, the Sector Based Scheme,

and the General Agreement on Trade in Services.
