From 6 April 2022, people having Biometric Residence Permits (BRP), Biometric Residence Cards (BRC), or Frontier Worker Permits (FWP) will prove their right to work in the UK solely by means of the Home Office online checking services.
UK businesses cannot really acknowledge sight of the actual BRP, BRC or FWP as substantial evidence of the holder’s right to work, regardless of the document has yet to expire.
While employers are legitimately obliged to make sure that all new starters have the important migration status in the UK prior to going into business, they do not have to reflectively look at the situation with people possessing BRC, BRP or FWP and employed before 6 April 2022, gave their underlying right to work checks were undertaken in line with the advice that applied at the time such looks at were carried out.
To lead an internet-based right to work check, employers will require the candidate’s date of birth and their “share code”, which the individual will have obtained online.
To finish the online right to work check, employers will enter the work candidate’s information by visiting the ‘checker’ side of the service on GOV.UK. It is expected that updated Home Office guidance for employers on how to conduct a right to work check is to be published in due course.
