Hi,
If it is technical change of employment even within the same company, you need to get a new WP and FLR. Has your friend got a new WP for the change in employemt?. If he isn't, then it is illeagal to work. Ask him to change his role back to as mentioned in the WP.

Where did he obtain technical change from HO or His employer? I am also an WP and I tried to change my role within the company in 2007. I enquired HO and they asked me to apply a new WP and FLR. It was a small change in the role. I would suggest you get confirmation from HO.

senthil78,
Would a change in job title constitute to a technical change? Am asking because I am also on WP and my job title changed at some point but the roles and responsibilities did not. It was a sort of re barnding titles.??

It should be fine as long as the role and responsibility is not changed. Just keep in mind, when you submit any letter to HO from your employer, don't forget to put the same job title as in the WP (While applying ILR or anything). If you don't do this, it will create a confusion and you will have to give explaination.

the employer applied technical change on his behalf and it has been approved. all they asked is to provide his leave to remain copy. please be aware that my friend's case was a moving location within the company [technical change] there werent any problem at all.

It could be a problem. However it would be much less so if it was a genuine mistake and is not happening to other people, and if the most recent payslip has the back pay and correct monthly pay.
Discrepancies or issues discovered during checks
169. We anticipate that, on many occasions, checks will not reveal any problems. In these cases, we will notify you that we are satisfied that everything is in order.
170. Where there are discrepancies discovered before we have made a decision on your application, the relevant team will let you know whether we require further information before making their decision on your application(s).
171. If we find discrepancies on applications where the work permit has already been issued and the overseas worker has taken up post, we will work with you to take steps to bring the employment back in line with the work permit arrangements if possible.
172. However, there may be occasions where we find evidence to show that an employer or representative has knowingly deceived us, or where
we cannot verify the statements made in the application. In these cases, the Compliance Team have the right to revoke the work permit(s), and
consequently curtail the leave that the overseas national has to remain in the UK. Where appropriate, we may instigate prosecution of employers (or representatives) under the relevant immigration, or other, legislation.
See the guidance about compliance visits:
