Description
To encourage a fair and open employment market, the UK government introduced Right to Work checks designed to mitigate the impact of illegal working by preventing the exploitation of individuals and ease the potential negative economic impact. It is an important part of pre-employment background checks. This online course explores what a background right to work check is and how to ensure it is done correctly, as well as explaining why employers need to do it, and what happens when this screening is ignored.
