Right to work

Immigration and visa tracking

The right-to-work check was done when they joined, and the expiry date was never written on the employee. Visa tracking stores the check, the document, and a reminder before the date passes.

An example. Forty-seven days until 11 November is the reminder. The document stays off the company directory, with the other restricted files. Sponsorship and visa conditions still belong to a qualified adviser.

What you can do

Collected with onboarding, then kept on the employee. Sponsorship and visa conditions still belong to a qualified adviser.

The check is stored

What you looked at, and when, stays on the employee instead of in the onboarding email.

The document stays restricted

It is not on the company directory. It sits with the other restricted files.

A reminder before the date

Someone can start a renewal while there is still time. The reminder is not a Home Office decision.

Questions teams ask

Does a reminder mean the visa covers the role?

No. The reminder is so a person can start a renewal. Whether a visa covers the work is a question for a qualified adviser, not the software.

Who can see the document?

It stays off the company directory, with the other restricted files.

What is actually stored?

The check, the document, and the expiry date, collected with onboarding and kept on the employee.
