Background Check
Right to Work Check
Confirm whether your candidate has the legal right to work in your country.
Hiring Across Borders? Is Your Candidate Legally Permitted to Work?
A candidate’s immigration status, work permissions or restrictions can change over time. An apparently valid document may not always reflect their current eligibility or the conditions attached to their right to work.
False Work Documents
False or altered work documents can misrepresent an individual’s right to work, exposing the company to legal, financial, and reputational risks.
Invalid Work Authorisation
Invalid work authorisation can result in employing someone without the required legal permission, potentially leading to penalties and compliance issues.
Expired Work Permission
Expired work permission can leave an individual without a valid right to work, exposing the company to regulatory action and disruption to employment.
Work
Restrictions
Unidentified restrictions on work authorisation may result in employment outside permitted conditions, potentially exposing the company to compliance penalties and legal liability.
