Coronavirus (COVID-19): right to work checks

The Home Office has announced that the adjustments to right to work checks introduced during the pandemic have been extended until 31 August 2021.

Home Office guidance has been updated and can be found here.

From 1 September employers must revert to face to face and physical document checks as set out in legislation and guidance. This will ensure employers have sufficient notice to put measures in place to enable face-to-face document checks.

As always, if you have any questions you can contact us 0141 221 3181, thank you.
