Navigating Right to Work Challenges in the UK Construction Industry webinar

This session aims to shed light on the pressing issues that the construction industry faces regarding right to work and the potential consequences of non-compliance.

The UK construction industry is grappling with significant challenges, including labour shortages, financial constraints and material shortages. A key area of concern is the eligibility to work, with some companies not verifying appropriate right to work documentation. This oversight can inadvertently lead to the employment of workers without the necessary right to work, posing a significant risk to businesses.

The UK government has recently increased the penalties for employing illegal workers. Businesses employing a worker without the appropriate right to work could face fines starting at £45,000 per worker for a first breach, and up to £60,000 per worker for repeat violations. These fines can have a significant impact on businesses, especially those in the construction industry where labour shortages are prevalent.

Our webinar will provide an in-depth discussion on these issues, offering insights and strategies to navigate these challenges effectively. We will also cover the potential legal and financial implications of non-compliance, including the increased fines for employing illegal workers.
