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?

Day to day

Who expires when, across every site you run.

Who has time-limited permission, when does each one end, and what happens before it does? Most sponsors cannot answer that quickly.

The board.

Built from the check, not from a spreadsheet

Every expiry arrived with a recorded check: the date, the person who made it, and the page they were shown. Nothing was typed in by hand, so nothing drifts out of step with the evidence behind it.

Each date schedules its own follow-up, and the reminder goes to the manager responsible for that site. If the email does not deliver, the item shows as outstanding, not done.

It tells you a date is coming and what record is required. What to do about a person’s immigration position is a question for a qualified adviser, and we do not answer it. How the check is recorded

What it prevents

A silent lapse

A permission running out while everyone assumed somebody else was watching the date.

A late follow-up

A check made after the fact is evidence of the wrong thing.

An unchecked spreadsheet

Expiry dates nobody has reconciled against the actual documents.

A surprise

A manager finding out at the same moment as the inspector.

Questions
Where do the dates come from?
From the check itself. When a right to work check is recorded, the expiry on the response is captured with it, so the board is built out of evidence rather than typed into a spreadsheet from memory.
What happens as a date approaches?
A follow-up check is scheduled and the reminder goes to the manager responsible for that site, not to a shared inbox. If the email does not deliver, the item shows as outstanding rather than quietly counting as done.
Does it tell us what to do about an expiry?
It tells you the date is coming and what record is required. What to do about a particular person’s immigration position is a question for a qualified adviser, and we do not answer it.
