In force

Since 1 October 2026, right to work duties also cover subcontractors, online platform workers and some businesses that use another employer’s workers.

Does this apply to you?

Who it is for

The records are about them. Most start with them, too.

Right to work evidence, a current address, a signed acknowledgement, a payslip. An employer must hold all of it, and almost none of it exists unless somebody asks the worker and writes down when they answered.

What a worker actually does.

Four things, none of which require them to understand a word of immigration law. A hard flow is an incomplete record: every extra step is a worker who does not finish.

  1. 01

    Joins from a link

    Sent by their employer, opened on a phone, no account created and no password to forget. The invite expires, which is itself part of the record.

  2. 02

    Supplies what only they can supply

    Passport or share code, National Insurance number, address, qualification certificates — photographed where they stand, not scanned in an office.

  3. 03

    Confirms they were told

    Employment rights, site inductions, policies. One tap, and what is stored is the person, the moment, and a fingerprint of exactly what they were shown.

  4. 04

    Keeps their own side current

    A change of address takes seconds and writes a new entry rather than erasing the old one. Hours go in from the job. Payslips are there when they need them for a landlord or a bank.

What a worker sees in their own view
In their own viewWhy it is there
Their documents and statusWhat has been accepted, what is outstanding, what is expiring.
Their payslipsGrouped by month and year, downloadable, available without asking anybody.
Their hoursWhat they submitted, and the weeks it was counted in.
What they have acknowledgedEvery briefing and policy they have confirmed, with the date.
Their contact detailsCurrent, and correctable by them, which is how the employer’s history stays accurate.

Questions.

Does a worker need an account?
No. They get a link, they do the thing, they are done. Anything needing a password gets ignored by somebody who will use it twice a year, and then the record never arrives.
Can they see what their employer holds about them?
They can see their own records and what is outstanding. A formal request for everything held about them goes to their employer, who decides — they are the controller of that data, not us.
What if someone has no smartphone?
Everything a worker does can be done by an administrator on their behalf, and the record shows who entered it. The flows are built for a cheap phone on a bad connection, but they are not the only route.
Is this a payroll system?
No. Payslips are recorded here because a sponsor is required to hold them and a worker is entitled to reach them. They are produced by whatever payroll you already run.
