Natasha Chell and Clara Gautrais write for ILPA on right to work checks

3 August 2021

Partner and Head of Risk and Compliance Natasha Chell and Trainee Solicitor Clara Gautrais have written an article for the ILPA Monthly on right to work checks and challenges post-Brexit.

In their piece, Natasha and Clara discuss the temporary COVID-19 concession to right to work checks which allows employers to conduct online checks of employee’s documents rather than inspecting physical documents.

They also discuss the right to work check measures applicable to EUSS applicants whose applications are pending and look at whether employers are required to conduct retrospective checks on EEA nationals and their family members.
