From 1 October 2022, the UK Government will introduce changes to the acceptable ways for employers to conduct right to work checks for both new and existing employees.  

Since April 2018, employers have been able to conduct online right to work checks on certain individuals, namely those from the EU, the EEA, Switzerland, and recently certain types of UK visa holders. Manual i.e., physical document right to work checks had to be conducted in person until the outbreak of COVID-19 in March 2020, which made it impossible for employers to conduct said checks face-to-face.

Since the implementation of Brexit, we were wondering whether to expect a diversion from EU employment laws and regulations at some point, but no timetable had previously been announced for reform. It is now anticipated that we will be witnessing one of the most important pieces of employment legislation to be introduced since the Equality Act 2010, with a major effect on workers’ rights and labour unions.
