How Non-British or Irish Citizens Can Prove Their Right to Work in the UK
Non-British or Irish citizens can demonstrate their Right to Work in the UK by providing their share code and date of birth through the Referoo platform. Referoo is aligned with the UK Digital Identity and Attributes Trust Framework, ensuring secure and compliant verification.
How the Process Works:
Collecting Information:
Referoo gathers the candidate's share code and date of birth.
Identity verification is performed using a certified Identity Service Provider (IDSP).
Verification:
The recruiter can use the link provided by Referoo to access the official UK government website (www.gov.uk).
On the website, the recruiter enters the share code and date of birth to confirm the candidate's Right to Work status.
What the Right to Work Check Confirms:
Types of Employment: The roles the candidate is eligible to engage in within the UK.
Duration: How long the candidate is legally allowed to work in the UK.
Working Hours: The maximum number of hours the candidate can work, particularly relevant for students.
Rights and Benefits: The candidate's rights and benefits while working in the UK.
Access to Government Services: Eligibility for services such as the NHS.
Financial Services: The candidate's ability to open a bank account or apply for credit in the UK.
This process ensures that recruiters have all the necessary information to confirm a candidate's eligibility to work in the UK, complying with legal requirements.
