UK Extends Scope of Right to Work Checks to Include Wider Working Arrangements and Introduces Extended Liability for Employers
What changed
The Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Act 2025 (BSAI 2025) has amended the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006, expanding the scope of employers required to conduct right to work checks and the sanctions for non-compliance. These changes extend legal obligations beyond traditional employment to a broader spectrum of working arrangements, including individual sub-contractors and online matching services. Additionally, the BSAI 2025 introduces an 'extended liability', making certain third parties potentially liable for civil penalties related to illegal working.
