Home Office guidance – right to work checks

The Home Office has published an updated version of An Employer’s Guide to Right to Work Checks, available here. The main changes to the guide concern:

• what to do in relation to a non-EEA national who has been a long-term lawful resident of the UK since before 1988, and does not possess acceptable right to work documentation;
• further clarification on appropriate steps for employers in relation to existing employees;
• clarification of the grace period in cases of TUPE transfers; and
• ending restrictions on the employment of Croatian nationals with effect from 1 July 2018.
