When is a follow-up right to work check required?

A follow-up check is required when an employee has time-limited permission to work in the UK. The check must be completed before their current permission expires, or before the expiry of their Certificate of Application if they have an outstanding application.

What happens if I don't do a follow-up check?

Failure to conduct a follow-up check before permission expires means you lose your statutory excuse. If the employee is later found to be working illegally, you could face a civil penalty of up to £45,000.
