Verifying documents
We will not enter an employee on to the payroll or allow them to start working until the checks are complete.
If a manager is unsure about someone's right to work in the UK, they must email recruitment@lincolnshire.gov.uk.
If we remain dissatisfied with the identity and work status information, or the prospective employee or worker cannot produce the original documentation, the business support recruitment admin team can contact the Employer Checking Service at the Border Agency. A record will be kept of all telephone conversations and contacts, when checking on asylum and immigration matters.
If we are not satisfied that someone has the right to work in the UK, we will refuse employment to that person. It is up to the prospective employee to demonstrate to us that they are permitted to work. We will not employ prospective employees who cannot demonstrate this.
Managers cannot recruit non-UK or non-Irish workers without first taking advice from the Talent and Resourcing team in HR.
