Does your business use contractors, subcontractors or third-party labour?

Since 1 October 2026, your business may be responsible for checking their right to work in the UK, even if you do not employ them directly.

If your HR processes cover only employees, you could miss required checks and face fines of up to £60,000 per illegal worker, plus workforce disruption.

To help you understand who your business needs to check and how to meet your responsibilities, LegalVision is hosting a free webinar on Right to Work Changes: What UK Employers Need to Know.

Join us on Tuesday, 17 November, at 11 am GMT, when Georgina Hebibasi (Practice Leader) will discuss:

• What has changed: the new requirements introduced on 1 October 2026, who they affect and what your business needs to do differently.;
• Where your responsibility extends: when your business may be liable for illegal working involving contractors, subcontractors and workers supplied by third parties.;
• How to carry out checks correctly: digital checks, eVisas, acceptable documents, follow-up checks and the records you need to keep.;
• What non-compliance can cost: civil penalties of up to £60,000 per illegal worker, potential sponsor licence consequences and common mistakes to avoid.; and
• What to do now: audit your processes, review contractor arrangements and train hiring managers and HR teams to apply a consistent approach..
