Guidance Update Right to Work Scheme
We have received an update from the Home Office who have asked us to communicate this message to stakeholders.
The Home Office has updated its Guidance for employers on the Right to Work Scheme to reflect changes brought about by case law in relation to the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS) and following recent Home Office reforms to the EUSS.
The updated Guidance can be accessed here:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/right-to-work-checks-employers-guide
Points of note in this updated guidance include:
- The requirement for employers to verify a digital Certificate of Application (CoA) with the Home Office Employer Checking Service (ECS) when conducting a right to work online check involving an outstanding EU Settlement Scheme application made on or after 1 July 2021 has been removed.
- The reference to Immigration Enforcement 28-day notices in respect of EEA citizens and their non-EEA family members which are no longer in use has been removed.
