The UK Home Office announced that the temporary measures relating to Right to Work checks that were implemented in response to the outbreak of COVID-19 will remain in effect until June 20. These measures were previously expected to remain in effect until May 17. Starting on June 21, employers in the United Kingdom will need to revert to conducting face-to-face reviews of job applicants' original documents, as set out in the UK Right to Work legislation and guidance.
