Frequently asked questions
Employers have a legal obligation to ensure that every individual they employ has the right to work. Employers must conduct thorough right-to-work checks, retain records, perform follow-up checks when necessary, and avoid discrimination in the process. Before hiring any new employee, companies must check right to work status as part of their legal obligations to prevent illegal working. By fulfilling these legal obligations, employers protect themselves from penalties and ensure they comply with immigration and employment laws.
Yes, our app allows you to complete RTW checks for the Republic of Ireland, supporting you with local legislation.
IDVT stands for Identity Document Validation Technology. It comprises several digital technologies including Cloud, Mobile, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning that digitise and automate processes that have traditionally been undertaken manually.
The Home Office has recognised that it is crucial for organisations to continue to conduct remote Right to Work checks as they have changed their working and hiring models over the Covid-19 Pandemic when the temporary COVID- 19 adjusted Right to Work checks were introduced.
The Covid-19 temporary measures end on 30th September 2022 and the Government have made provisions for employers to use IDVT solutions to continue to conduct remote, digital RTW checks.
However, in order for IDVT solution providers to offer remote digital RTW checks, the Home Office has stated that these solution providers need to be accredited against the UK Digital Identity and Attributes Trust Framework (UKDIATF) and as a certified Identity Service Provider (IDSP) of digital Right to Work checks.
Yes. The Experian RTW solution incorporates IDVT and has been accredited against the UKDIATF and certified as an IDSP to a High Level of assurance. This gives any organisation using the Experian RTW solution the confidence they are conducting remote RTW checks correctly, every time.
Yes, as an IDVT solution, the Experian RTW product has a new Candidate app that allows candidates to conduct Right to Work checks remotely themselves.
This not only allows organisations to carry on conducting remote checks after 30th September 2022, when Covid-19 adjusted checks ended, but this can also take the burden of conducting RTW checks off hiring managers as the check is conducted by the candidate.
Yes. The existing employer app will still be available for organisations who will choose to conduct face to face RTW checks with physical documents as the Experian RTW solution has always done. The new candidate app will work in parallel with the employer app to give organisations a choice on how they want to conduct a RTW check.
Our Right to work data is stored in the UK and in line with GDPR regulations.
A statutory excuse in the context of employing someone refers to a legal defence that employers can use to avoid liability for employing a person who does not have the right to work in a country. To establish a statutory excuse, the employer must follow specific steps required by law to confirm that the employee is legally allowed to work. These steps usually involve checking and verifying the worker’s immigration status and right-to-work documentation before employment starts. If an employer fulfills these requirements and later discovers that an employee does not have the right to work, the employer may not be liable for penalties or fines because they have established the statutory excuse.
Our Right to Work app helps you to obtain a statutory excuse by streamlining and digitising the process of verifying an employee’s legal right to work. Using our app ensures that you complete the required steps correctly, which is critical for establishing the statutory excuse. This applies to both remote and face-to-face RTW checks.
An imposter check is a verification process employers use to ensure that the person presenting right-to-work documents is the legitimate holder of those documents. This step is crucial for preventing identity fraud. It is a key part of the right-to-work checks that helps employers confirm that the individual who presented the documents is not an imposter using someone else’s credentials.
A Right to Work share code is part of the UK’s Home Office online system that allows individuals to prove their right to work. Instead of presenting physical documents like a passport or visa, individuals can generate a share code through the UK Government’s online Right to Work Checking Service and give it to their prospective employer.
By combining digital document checks and share code verification on a single platform, organisations can streamline their processes and provide flexibility in how they verify an individual’s right to work or rent.
