This Practice Note looks at how advisers can balance the competing risks that arise in practice where an employer fails to conduct a compliant right to work check or comes to suspect that an employee does not have the right to work.

This Practice Note looks at what employers need to do in order to carry out a ‘right to work check’ correctly, including the main steps that should be taken for both online and manual checks, record-keeping requirements and preparing for repeat checks. It also looks at right to work checks for British and Irish nationals using Identity Document Validation Technology (IDVT) via a Digital Verification Service.
