With the imminent changes and “reversion” of Right to Work Checks from the 1st of July, the Home Office has released new guidance to support organisations.

This guidance advises an employer how to conduct a right to work check and sets out the specific actions that can be taken to prevent liability for a civil penalty. This is called ‘establishing a statutory excuse against liability for a penalty’. This guidance applies to right to work checks conducted on or after 17 December 2020 to establish or retain a statutory excuse from having to pay a civil penalty for employing a person who is not permitted to do the work in question.

The new guidance can be found here:



"I have always found the Learn Centre to be helpful and supportive of not only mine but the team's payroll training needs. The blended learning approach works well for me and I would not hesitate to recommend them as a Payroll training specialist provider not only for online delivery (e-learning) but also face 2 face and in-house. The Payroll Professionals Conference is also a great networking opportunity."
