The Home Office’s temporary COVID-19 right to work check measures are set to expire this week.
Key Points:
Additional Information: If the job applicant or existing worker cannot show their documents, employers must contact the Home Office Employer Checking Service. If the individual has a right to work, a “Positive Verification Notice” will be sent which provides a statutory excuse for six months from the date of the notice.
BAL Analysis: Employers and employees will no longer benefit from the modified right to work check measures. Employers and employees are reminded that it is an offense to work illegally in the U.K. Individuals who are working illegally because of their immigration status may be subject to enforcement action. Employers could face a civil penalties for employing an illegal worker and not conducting a correct right to work check.
