IDing new staff
Some people are
automatically entitled to work in the UK. Others may have restrictions on
the length of time they can stay or the type of work that they can do.
It's important to
follow certain procedures and to check each potential employee's eligibility
to work, to avoid facing prosecution by employing somebody who isn't legally
entitled to work in the UK. The law provides a statutory defence against
conviction for employing an illegal migrant worker by checking and copying
certain original documents.
However, you should
remember when applying these new document checks that many people from
minority groups who live in the UK are British citizens. It is important
that your recruitment practices do not discriminate against any person on
the basis of their racial background.
