What Is Right-to-Work Check? | HR Glossary | BambooHR
Verifying that a prospective or current employee is legally permitted to work in the relevant country.
A right-to-work check is the process of confirming that someone is legally entitled to work in the country where they will be employed, before employment begins.
It protects the employer from the legal and financial consequences of employing someone without permission to work, and helps ensure a compliant workforce.
Checks should be applied consistently to all candidates to avoid discrimination, with records kept securely in line with data-protection law.
