The end of the temporary adjusted right to work checks?
Sometimes viewed as a recruitment ‘check box’ exercise, right-to-work checks are often dangerously not given the gravitas that it deserves. It is an offence to knowingly employ someone who doesn’t have the right to work in the UK; if found guilty, a consequence could be jail time. Additionally, employers can also be penalised even if they unknowingly employ someone who doesn’t have the right to work in the UK but failed to carry out the correct checks (which can carry a civil penalty of up to 20k!).
