From 1 October 2026, UK right-to-work obligations will expand beyond employees to include contractors, subcontractors, agency workers, gig workers, and individuals engaged through third parties.
Businesses will face increased liability for illegal working and will need to carry out their own compliant right-to-work checks rather than relying solely on agencies or labour providers.
In this webinar we will:
- Look at which engagements and categories of labour will be caught by this new requirement
- Explain the increased financial and reputational risk arising from these changes
- Provide guidance on the forthcoming requirements to ensure compliance with Home Office obligations
- Share practical actions that all businesses should be taking now, to prepare in advance of October
Who is this webinar for?
It is especially relevant for HR, Recruitment, Compliance and Procurement professionals as well as Owners and Managers responsible for recruiting, onboarding and contracting with staff and suppliers of labour.
Please note that this event is designed to be informative, not advisory and represents our understanding of English law and practice as at the date indicated. We would always recommend that you should seek specific guidance on any particular legal issue.
