A right to work share code is a unique code issued by the UK Government that allows individuals with visas to prove their right to work in the UK. This initiative is designed to streamline the identity-checking process, enabling employers and prospective workers to complete required checks quickly and efficiently online.
Eligible migrant workers can generate their share code and provide it to employers as proof of their right to work. For step-by-step guidance on creating a share code, individuals can visit the Home Office website.
It’s an essential part of ensuring legal compliance during recruitment.
Employers can check a person’s right to work share code online via the UK government’s website. The expiry date must be diarised and follow up checks carried out accordingly. Any conditions will be set out on the right to work check produced through the online check and these must be understood and adhered to.
