No offense meant but if you have to ask that question I would seriously question your ability to run a pub.

Did you hire this person to work in your pub? Do you pay her to make herself available in your pub? If the answer to these questions are no, if she isn't working for and being paid by you, it is not "her" workplace therefore none of them apply.

That said, If you know she is there as a "working" girl without proper papers than I could see you being charged as a pimp or aiding and abetting. But that is a different thing altogether. That could be moral charges as opposed to licensing or immigration problems.
