	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/02/2021 answer text <p>The Home Office’s online right to work checking service has been in operation for over two years. It enables employers to undertake free digital checks on prospective employees with a biometric residence card, status under the EU Settlement Scheme or the new Points-Based System. The online service is more secure than physical document checks and relies on real-time information from the Home Office about an individual’s status.</p><p>Since its inception, the service has been used by employers over 150,000 times and feedback from employers and user groups has been positive.</p><p>The online right to work checking service is part of our wider ambition to develop a border and immigration system which is “digital by default” for all migrants, including evidence of immigration status. Over time this means we will increasingly replace physical and paper-based products and services with accessible, easy to use online and digital services. As part of this, we continue to work closely with employers and employers’ groups, including on the merits of specialist technology, such as Identity Document Validation Technology, in conducting checks.</p><p>In March 2020, we introduced an adjusted right to work checking process to support businesses through the pandemic. We are currently conducting a review of the process to ensure the current and future checking regimes meet the requirements of employers through the unique circumstances presented by the pandemic, whilst maintaining the security and integrity of our system in the long-term.</p> answering member constituency Torbay answering member printed Kevin Foster grouped question UIN 146946 146947 question first answered 08/02/2021 17:02:34 answering member 4451 label Biography information for Kevin Foster
