Last minute government announcement postpones in person RtW checks until 5 April 2022

In a statement on 26 August, the Home Office announced that in person right to work checks would not resume on 1 September as previously instructed. Instead remote checking arrangements, put in place during the covid-19 pandemic, will be extended again up until 5 April 2022. View the most recent guidance from the Home Office.

HR's Compliance team will therefore continue to conduct right to work checks remotely until that date. We are in the process of updating our web guidance and related communications to reflect this change.
