Short answer
A sponsored worker record is the set of information and evidence a sponsor keeps about an individual worker, including identity, visa, job, contact, right-to-work, document, and follow-up information. Soteriaa helps organise these records so teams can spot missing evidence and upcoming actions.

Identity & contact

Certificate of Sponsorship reference and related details.
Right-to-work checks
Check dates, evidence, and any re-check dates.
Documents
Passports, share-code results, and supporting files.
Salary / job / absence notes
