Employing a non-EU worker
« on: May 05, 2010, 12:20:34 pm »
I'm employing a non-EU national and just wondered what documents I need to take copies of to check that he's entitled to work in the UK.

My understanding is that he needs a national insurance number, passport and a current UK work visa or permit.  Is this correct?

Thanks.

The best document you could give him is a travel document - ticket home !

We have several Eastern European staff - for them they have Worker Registration Cards and Certificates but only valid if working for us (if they want to move companies they have to re-apply) These are issued by Home Office and apply to those states that have applied or on waiting list to join EU i.e Lithuania/Latvia.
The Home Office are very helpful in advising you of who can/can not work although regulations have been tightened recently especially for what they term (I wouldnt) non-skilled positions.

Latvia & Lithuania are both in EU and have been for years.

More likely he will be here on a visa so thats what you need to check for. Be aware though if his has a student visa etc his only allowed to work 20 hours per week. In which case he will not need a national insurance number.

make sure his visa allows him to work, just because he has a visa it doesnt always mean you allowed to work.

My brothers business employs few. Brilliant workers. Very hard working, never late for work, never call in sick, never moan. Always happy to work overtime. British staff completely opposite
