UK right to work verification

Why conduct a UK right to work check?

In the United Kingdom, it is a legal requirement for employers to check that their employees have the right to work in the country. This includes verifying candidates immigration status and any necessary work permits or visas. Failing to do so can result in a civil penalty of up to £20,000 per worker. New laws that came in October 2021 state that you must use an identity verification provider (IDVT) like Zinc when checking right-to-work remotely.
