Configure the Restrict Hiring Based on Right to Work Status Client Property

Before You Begin: This client property is only shown if you configured an integration with a right to work (RTW) verification service provider in Dayforce. See Configure Right to Work Verification Services.

The Restrict Hiring Based on Right to Work Status client property controls whether authorized users can hire candidates with certain right to work (RTW) statuses. When the client property is enabled, hiring is restricted for the following candidates:

  • A RTW check wasn’t requested for the candidate.
  • The candidate's RTW check indicated they don't have work rights. This client property can also be configured to restrict hiring for candidates who were found to have limited work rights, if needed.
  • In the UK, the candidate was a former employee and their RTW request date was before their termination date. RTW checks completed for the employee's previous employment aren't valid, consistent with UK Home Office guidance.

The Candidate Hire action in the Recruiting feature is disabled for these candidates, and the Hire button is not available.

Note: If you restrict hiring for both the No Work Rights and Limited Work Rights statuses, the Candidate Hire action will only be available for candidates with the Normal Work Rights status.
