Right to Work
With an increasingly flexible and mobile workforce, complying with Home Office mandatory checks presents many challenges. Due to COVID there has been a relaxed approach whereby checks can be undertaken remotely to remain compliant, however full checks will need to be completed within 8 weeks of restrictions being lifted – we expect this to be in the course of 2021. Your organisation will need to be ready to carry out potentially a large volume of checks in a short period of time. Find out more around how PwC can help you manage this process.
