<p>Employers have various statutory duties to conduct checks on people seeking employment.
These include the need to comply with Home Office regulations under the Immigration,
Asylum and Nationality Act 2006 on the prevention of illegal working, which involve
checking specified documents which evidence a person’s right to work in the UK.</p><p>The
Home Office continues to operate a checking service for employers to confirm a migrant’s
right to work where the individual has an outstanding immigration application, administrative
review or appeal. The Home Office remains committed to strengthening and simplifying
checks to better prevent illegal working, and continues to work closely with UK employers
towards this objective.</p>
