Right To Work Check
Is Your Candidate Eligible To Work For Your Company?
Checking a candidate’s right to work gives employers peace of mind that they are hiring people who are able to work lawfully. Our services confirm a candidate’s eligibility to work legally in the country based on their visa or residency status.
A Right to Work check is what, exactly?
A right to work check verifies that each person you hire is legitimately permitted to work under the laws of your country. This check is the employer’s obligation, and depending on how serious the violation was, permitting an illegal alien to work could result in jail time or fines. These sanctions might also be imposed on organisations, including recruitment firms, that make referrals.
Why check for Right to Work compliance?
There are numerous justifications for employers to perform a right to work check:
- Verify that every employee is qualified to work for your company in order to reduce responsibility and risk.
- If it is discovered that your staff are not authorised to work, defend your company against severe legal repercussions (fines and possibly incarceration depending on the severity of the breach).
- By determining upfront whether a candidate is a good fit for the position, screening your prospective applicants will ultimately save you time and money.
- Candidates and employees who are not honest about their immigration status and employment benefits may display dishonesty in their professional conduct.
Who should check for Right to Work compliance?
Every company should perform right to work investigations as part of a thorough hiring procedure. Make sure your firm is protected by carrying out the essential right to work checks in light of globalisation and the rise in the number of workers from other countries.
When should you check for Right to Work compliance?
We advise doing right to work investigations prior to recruiting potential employees. Any organisation that conducts pre-employment screening should include a right to work check because it is crucial to evaluating the applicant and determining whether it is secure to hire them.
