So the client might have it technically wrong. You go ahead and refuse to comply. So much win.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

Originally posted by LondonManc View PostYet you keep missing the point. It's not just about having the right to work in the UK. It's about proving who you are and that you are qualified as claimed. They want you to prove that you got the degree you did - that's absolutely nothing to do with your right to work in the UK as you don't need a degree to do so.
Same as ABC Photocopier Repairs Ltd. has the legal responsibility to prove who Pedro is and that he's qualified to perform his duties as a photocopier repairman.
Or are your contracts between client co. and LondonManc, the person?Comment

Originally posted by northernladuk View PostYes they are. The contract between the client is different, the services and the way they are offered are different and then on top of that there is the client that is possibly being overly cautious over someone that's on site full time for 6+ months and someone that pops in on call and unlikely to even be the same person.Comment

Anyway, interesting article on exactly this inconsistency..
Why Right to Work checks aren't consistent :: Contractor UK
Bottom line is..
My conclusion is that there is a lack of consistency in right to work checks dependent on the type of contract used, which some less scrupulous businesses may take advantage of. Best practice for recruiters is to carry out the checks in any event.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

My point still stands, which you have conveniently ducked: have you proved via a vetting agency that you are who you are to your limited company?The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment
