Overview:
Employers in the UK must check that every employee has the right to work before employment starts. You may be asked for a share code (for digital status) or original acceptable documents (for manual checks). Employers should follow official Home Office guidance. Failure to do so can lead to heavy penalties for employers.
For candidates:
- If you have digital immigration status, generate a share code at prove right to work and share with the employer.
- If you have a BRP/visa vignette or passport, bring originals for a manual check.
- If your status is in progress, an employer may contact the Employer Checking Service (ECS).
For employers posting on Aburv:
- Specify if sponsorship is available or not.
- Avoid nationality‑based wording; focus on RTW eligibility.
- Keep evidence of checks (copy of documents / ECS PVN) as advised in official guidance.
