Right to Work checks: Everything sponsors need to know
Since 13 February 2024, a single illegal worker can cost up to £45,000 for a first breach and £60,000 for a repeat one. The check itself is the only thing that gives you a statutory excuse, and it's easy to run one that doesn't. Physical documents are being phased out, eVisas and share codes have changed the process, and a well-meant check on the wrong document leaves you exposed. Our panel walks through the three compliant ways to check, who each one applies to, and the slips that quietly remove your statutory excuse. Join the session at 11am UK on 8 September 2026.
What you'll learn
- The three compliant ways to check, and who each one applies to.
- How eVisas and share codes have changed the check.
- When a follow-up check is required, and what a statutory excuse covers.
- The common slips that quietly remove your statutory excuse.
