The end of the transition period for the UK to leave the EU will significantly impact UK employers. Once Freedom of Movement ends, employers of non-UK nationals will need to ensure they understand and implement the new rules, which will affect EU nationals, skilled workers, intra-company transfers and students.

It's more vital than ever to keep track of changes and implement the new rules in a timely fashion as well as assess, identify and plan for potential people risks.
Added to which, a possible 2021 resurgence of Covid may present risks which will further complicate immigration issues for employers.

Your organisation is responsible for checking identity documents for all your non-UK employees. That’s quite a challenge, given the sheer volume and complexity of authenticating often unfamiliar documents.

Our recent survey indicated that, despite the current Covid-19 crisis, 84% of you still need to check and authenticate RTW documents; most companies are continuing to invest in professional development.
