What are Right to Work Checks
Right to Work checks are used to confirm that an individual is legally allowed to work in the UK.
These checks must be completed before a driver begins work and must be carried out in line with Home Office guidance. This includes verifying official documents and keeping a clear record of the check.
Right to Work checks are a legal requirement, but they should not be complicated or expensive to manage.
Our system allows you to complete Right to Work checks at no additional cost, including checking a driver’s status using the official Home Office share code.
This means you can:
- Verify a driver’s Right to Work quickly and correctly
- Record the check within your system
- Keep everything organised in one place
Free Expiry Reminders
Many drivers have time-limited permission to work, meaning their Right to Work must be checked again before it expires.
Keeping track of this manually can be difficult, especially when managing multiple drivers.
That is why our system includes free automatic reminders when a Right to Work check is approaching expiry.
This helps you:
- Stay ahead of renewal dates
- Avoid last-minute issues or disruptions
- Ensure ongoing compliance without manual tracking
We understand that managing compliance can take time and attention, especially when you are already dealing with multiple responsibilities.
Our goal is to make Right to Work checks as straightforward as possible, giving you the tools to manage everything clearly and confidently, without adding unnecessary cost or complexity.
Why Right to Work Checks matter for Taxi Drivers
Taxi drivers operate in a regulated environment, often working independently and interacting directly with the public.
Ensuring that every driver has the legal right to work is not just a legal requirement, it is a key part of maintaining trust, compliance, and professional standards.
Failing to carry out proper Right to Work checks can have serious consequences.
Organisations may face:
- Civil penalties of up to £60,000 per illegal worker
- Reputational damage and loss of public trust
- Disruption to operations if drivers are removed
- Increased scrutiny from regulators and authorities
A simple mistake can lead to significant consequences.
