Right
to Work
Checks
Now Online!

12 May 2015

The Home Office has recently launched a new online tool with a view to making your job as a sponsor that little bit easier.

The tool facilitates the fundamentally important Right to Work Checks which every employer must conduct on prospective employees, be they from overseas or around the corner.

The online service is now available on the gov.uk website and has been announced in the most recent version of the Tier 2 & 5 Sponsor Guidance.

Sponsors can use this tool to highlight which documents they need to be checking and what information they should be looking for, in order to ascertain whether a potential employee has the right to work in the UK.

Equally, prospective employees can also use the service to find out exactly which documents they will need to produce on their first day of work in order to prove their status as eligible for employment in the UK.
