The Right to Work Checklist for Employers

Right to work checks now reach beyond your employees. Do you know who you're responsible for?

From 1 October 2026, the UK's right to work regime extends to worker's contracts, individual sub-contractors and online matching services. This free checklist shows who's now in scope and who carries each check: you, your supplier or the platform. It also sets out what to put in place so you can prove it.

• How extended liability works when you pass work to suppliers or allow substitutes
• Six practical actions to get your process ready, each with a named owner
