Asylum and Immigration checks

There is a legal obligation to ensure that all new employees are eligible to work in the United Kingdom (UK).

You will be asked to provide evidence of your eligibility to work at the interview stage. The documents detailed in the legislation will be acceptable only.

The Human Resource and Payroll Service (HR & P) will provide a full list of these documents to you. Your status must be verified before the start of employment.

HR & P have produced guidance which explains which documents prove your eligibility to work in the UK (MS Word [53.5Kb]. Will open a new browser window.).

Full guidance is available on the Home Office website.
