Digital status, right to work: data protection impact assessment
This DPIA concerns right to work, one of the 3 online services which enable people with an immigration status to check and share their status online.
This data protection impact assessment (DPIA) concerns “right to work”.
All employers have a responsibility to carry out right to work checks. This is done by employers conducting simple checks before they employ someone, to make sure the individual is entitled to take the work in question.
The Home Office has developed the online right to work checking service to support employers in conducting secure right to work checks and make it easier for individuals to demonstrate their right to work.
The service allows employers to check that current/prospective employees have the right to work in the UK, and any associated restrictions/conditions in respect of that right to work.
