October 2026 Right to Work Legislation Changes

About this webinar

From 1st October 2026, the Home Office is expanding Right to Work checks to cover contractors, zero-hours workers, gig/platform labour and LLP partners - with civil penalties of up to £60,000 per illegal worker for getting it wrong.

Join Rightcheck experts for a webinar on what's changing and how to prepare.

What you'll learn

  • What is changing - The Home Office's biggest overhaul of Right to Work checks in years, coming into force on 1st October 2026, and what it means for your business.
  • Who is now in scope - Contractors, zero-hours and gig/platform workers, and LLP partners now fall under mandatory checks, alongside your usual employees.
  • Digital verification changes - New registration rules for Right to Work Digital Verification Service Providers (RtW DVSPs), and what "certified" now means for employers.
  • Avoiding discrimination - What the updated Code of Practice says about treating every worker consistently, whatever route they take through the check.
  • Expired passport rules - British and Irish passport holders can use digital checks for up to six months after their passport expires, under new Home Office guidance.
  • How to prepare - Practical first steps to get your organisation ready before the deadline, including where the £60,000 per-worker penalty risk sits.
