Employing a new employee who does not have the right to work in the UK could cost you a \u00a320,000 civil fine. Furthermore, Immigration Enforcement could publish your name, damaging your business’ reputation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
To ensure that your new employee has the right to work in the UK, you will need to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- request documents to prove this;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- check the documents are genuine; and\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- keep a copy of the documents for your records.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The type of documents that prove a new employee can work in the UK include a:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- British passport;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- British citizenship document;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- European Economic Area (EEA) citizenship documents;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Swiss citizenship; or<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- valid work visa or permit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Conduct a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) Check<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Not all employers need to complete a DBS check for their new employees. Instead, it depends on the area of your business. For example, DBS checks an employee\u2019s criminal history to see if they have any criminal convictions. If your business is in healthcare or you work with children, this will apply to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carrying out a DBS check means giving your new employee an application from the DBS. Once your new employee completes the application, you can send it back to DBS. In addition, your new employee will receive a certificate from DBS informing you of any criminal history. <\/p>\n\n\n
