The enforcement action has been brought by the Home Office.
In a newly-released quarterly update, covering the period between April 1 and June 30, 2025, the Home Office has released a list of the businesses across the United Kingdom who have been fined for employing “illegal workers.”
Some of the businesses have been fined following an immigration enforcement visit.
A total of nine South Yorkshire businesses have received illegal worker fines, with two located in Sheffield, three in Barnsley and four in Doncaster.
Two of the businesses are convenience stores, while the rest are either takeaways or restaurants.
The largest fine handed out to a South Yorkshire business was to the Chino’s takeaway on London Road in Sheffield, which was ordered to pay £180,000.
