Video: Right to work update – Digital checks and other updates
10th March, 2022
Every employer in the UK has a legal obligation to prevent illegal working by checking that their employees have the right to work in the UK.
Gillian Burns and Natalie Payne, our expert immigration solicitors, cover the changes to the right to work checks that are being introduced from 6 April.
They answer questions such as:
- What does the new right to work check process look like?
- How do we use the online verification process to check right to work?
- What is “identification document validation technology” and how do we use it?
- When should we carry out the right to work check?
- What evidence do we need to retain?
- Will we have to pay to carry out right to work checks going forwards?
- Do we need to carry out retrospective checks on EU nationals or any other employees?
