Ashfords’ Employment Team continues to bring you updates on some of the key employment and immigration developments.
Chancellor of the Exchequer Kwasi Kwarteng delivered the new Government’s mini-budget last week, announcing a series of tax cuts and reforms aimed at encouraging economic growth and tackling the cost of living crisis.
A number of the proposals made by the Chancellor will have financial and practical implications for employers.
We highlight the key changes in our article here.
All employers in the UK should be aware of the changes to the right to work checking process from 1 October 2022.
As of 1 October 2022, remote checks involving scans of ID documents, will no longer be acceptable evidence of right to work in line with Home Office guidance. A return to manual checks of physical, original documents will therefore need to be brought back into your internal processes in most circumstances. Failing to do so may result in civil penalties and even criminal sanctions for your business.
Discover how to carry out checks under the new changes here.
