The Home Office published guidance for employers on right to work checks which came into force on 1 July 2021. It confirms that retrospective checks are not required for those EU, EEA and Swiss citizens who commenced work before 1 July 2021. Employers should ensure that their right to work procedures are updated in line with the revised guidance.
In this webinar we cover:
- the new Home Office guidance on right to work checks;
- the interim guidance for employers for EEE and Swiss nationals who did not apply to the EU Settlement Scheme in time;
- whether a job offer can be made to an EEA/ Swiss who has applied late/not yet received a response through the EU Settlement Scheme; and
- the risks arising from carrying out retrospective checks.
