What is a Right to Work check?
A Right to Work check confirms that an individual is legally allowed to work in the UK. Even if an applicant is born in the UK, and has a British passport, you must do a Right to Work check on them.
Employers are required to carry out these checks before employment begins. Failing to do so correctly can result in significant penalties.
A valid Right to Work check must confirm:
- That the documents provided are genuine and belong to them
- The individual’s identity
- Their eligibility to work in the UK
Why Right to Work checks are important
Right to Work checks are not just a formality. They are a legal obligation.
If checks are not carried out correctly, organisations can face:
- Fines of up to £60,000 per illegal worker
- Jail time
- Reputational damage
- Ongoing compliance risks
Having a clear and structured process in place is essential. By not completing Right to Work checks, and storing the results correctly, you are risking your whole business.
Free Right to Work Check Options
Manual Verification
If you prefer to carry out checks yourself, you can review the applicant’s documents or share code and record the details directly within 1 Check’s platform.
This allows you to:
- Enter document details and verification outcomes
- Confirm likeness checks and document validity
- Store all evidence securely in one place
By recording your checks within 1 Check, you create a clear and auditable record, helping you demonstrate compliance when needed.
Included In Digital ID Checks
Where you request a Digital ID check, we can also carry out a Right to Work check as part of the process, where applicable.
This provides a more automated approach, helping you:
- Reduce manual handling of documents
- Speed up the verification process
- Ensure checks are completed consistently
In many cases, this Right to Work check is included at no additional cost, giving you a simpler and more efficient way to manage compliance.
* Right to Work checks cannot be included when the individual completes a Digital ID check via Online Banking.
Automatic reminders for expiring Right to Work
For employees with temporary Right to Work status, follow-up checks are required.
1 Check helps you stay on top of this by providing:
- Clear visibility of expiry dates
- Automated email reminders
- Alerts when action is needed
This reduces the risk of missing a required follow-up check, and being landed with a nasty fine.
Seamless Integration With 1 Check Services
Right to Work checks are fully integrated within the 1 Check platform.
This means you can request multiple checks on applicants at the same time, creating one smooth and consistent process from start to finish.
No separate systems. No duplication. Just one clear workflow. All you need to do is enter your applicants details once, and select which checks you want for them. We’ll take care of the rest.
