Employer's guide to right to work checks · 16 July 2026
Right to Work record
A visa expiry date is not a Right to Work record. Each check needs the route, the evidence and the next action.
- Check route is recorded — share code, manual, IDSP or Employer Checking Service
- Date the check was completed
- Outcome and the permission it established
- Official output of the check is retained
- Whether permission is continuous or time-limited
- Follow-up date is diarised where the permission is time-limited
- Employer Checking Service cases have a next action
- The record is attached to this worker, not only stored in a shared drive
A checklist is useful once.
