Right to Work (UK)

For employees based in the United Kingdom, Dayforce shows the Right to Work section in the Personal > Confidential Information screen of People:

Example of the Right to Work section in people.

In the Right to Work section, select one of the following options in the Active Right to Work List drop-down list to determine which documents can be provided:

  • UK - Continuous Statutory Excuse
  • UK - Time Limited Statutory Excuse (Until expiry date)
  • UK - Time Limited Statutory Excuse (Up to 6 months)

In addition, Dayforce shows additional columns in the Identification section for UK employees:

  • Use for RTW: Select the checkbox to use the identification document as support for the employee's right to work (RTW).
  • RTW List: Select the right to work list in the drop-down list.
  • RTW Document: Select the document in the drop-down list. The list of documents is filtered based on the selected right to work list.
  • Doc Review: Select whether the document was accepted or rejected in the drop-down list.
  • Reviewed By: Automatically populated with the manager's details when the document is reviewed.
  • Reviewed On: Automatically populated with the date when the document is reviewed.

Example of the Identification section.

When you add a new RTW document in the Identification section, Dayforce automatically adds a record for the relevant associated document, if applicable. For example, when you add an Immigration Status Document with indefinite endorsements record, Dayforce automatically adds a record for the supporting letter, so that you can associate the official document that includes the employee's permanent National Insurance number and name, issued by a government agency or previous employer.

The following table describes which RTW document types trigger Dayforce to add an accompanying record, and which records are added:

RTW document type triggers
Original Document Automatically Added Document
Application Registration Card Positive Verification Notice
Birth or adoption certificate issued in the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man or Ireland Government Letter or Employment Document
Birth or adoption certificate issued in the UK Government Letter or Employment Document
Certificate of Application (on or before 30 June 2021) Positive Verification Notice
Certificate of registration or naturalisation as a British citizen Government Letter or Employment Document
Current Immigration Status Document with time limited endorsements Government Letter or Employment Document
Immigration Status Document with indefinite endorsements Government Letter or Employment Document
Jersey, Guernsey or IOM document proving application for leave Positive Verification Notice

You can also configure RTW information in the Right To Work Document Upload form, which can be assigned to Forms in People, Home > Forms, or other areas in Dayforce where forms are shown.
