Sound familiar?
Right to Work issues often build up unnoticed until a UKVI visit.
A scan is not a statutory excuse
Keeping copies isn’t enough unless the full check is completed correctly and recorded in line with Home Office rules.
Confusion over check types
We help appoint the right people for your sponsor licence and ensure they understand their responsibilities.
Evidence & Documents
Different workers require different methods, and using the wrong one can invalidate your compliance record.
Expiry dates get missed
Time-limited permissions must be rechecked before expiry, or you risk unknowingly employing someone illegally.
Moving to digital checks
With eVisas replacing physical documents, outdated processes can leave gaps in compliance.
No clear audit trail
Without consistent records of who checked what and when, it becomes difficult to prove compliance during a UKVI inspection.
How It Works
From risk to repeatable compliance in four steps.
No guesswork. Every step is owned, documented and easy to follow.

Build your process and templates
We create a clear Right to Work policy, set up compliant templates, and configure workflows for manual, IDVT and eVisa checks.
Train your team
Practical, hands-on coaching for HR and hiring managers so they understand exactly how to complete compliant checks every time.
