Although at first this can seem daunting, Right to Work checks are quick and easy.

All employers in the UK have a responsibility to prevent illegal working. We do this by conducting simple right to work checks before we employ someone.

Why do we need to prevent illegal working?

The ability to work illegally is a driver of illegal migration. It leaves people vulnerable to exploitation and results in unscrupulous employers undercutting compliant businesses. It can also negatively impact on the wages of lawful workers and is linked to other labour market abuse such as tax evasion, breach of the national minimum wage and exploitative working conditions, including modern slavery in the most serious cases.
