Failure to carry out Right to Work checks or hire individuals who do not have the legal right to work in the UK may result in financial penalties and, in some cases, criminal charges. This involves confirming the immigration status of potential candidates and obtaining any necessary work permits or visas.
In-line with the regulations introduced in October 2021, employers must use an identity verification provider (IDVT) such as Creditsafe when checking the right-to-work status of employees remotely.
We'll provide you with a detailed report that includes an image of the employees passport and metadata that confirms our certification as an IDSP. This data is stored securely on our encrypted systems for you to access it only when you need it.
‘Right to work’ stands for the legal requirement imposed by the government on all employers to ensure the people they hire have the right to work in the UK.
The British government website says that it’s the company’s responsibility to check that the documents presented by the job applicants are valid. Right to work checks must be carried out on job applicants but in some circumstances right to work checks need to be carried out for existing employees.
Employers across all sectors reap the benefits of having a reliable identity verification software that can check their job applicants’ right to work. Our real-time facial recognition technology helps companies speed up and simplify the process of ID verification, employee and client onboarding.
The technology enables businesses to comply with Right to Work legislation easily and avoid liability for inadvertently employing an illegal worker, which comes with fines up to £20,000 as well as reputational damage.
Capable of verifying up to 4,000 types of ID, our technology can save companies as much as 180 staff-hours each month.
Any business will be able to verify staff quickly using our app, cutting down the time and expense wasted on waiting for documents to come through the post or locating a verification email. Recruiters can also integrate the technology with their in-house verification processes.
The exact set of documents required for a right to work check will vary based on the particular job and the individual applicants, but would generally include:
According to the Immigration, Nationality and Asylum Act 2006, employers must carry out proper due-diligence to confirm any potential permanent, part-time, or temporary employee has the right to work in the UK before they can begin work.
Right to Work applies to any work experience or unpaid workers. All businesses are required by the Home Office to keep evidence of all the right to work checks they carry out, as well as checking the document provided is genuine and the applicant is its rightful holder.
Before a new employee begins their job, a company must conduct a compliant right to work check. Failure to conduct the process correctly can result in jail time or penalties.
