The government is changing the law through the upcoming Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill. to extend the requirement for right to work checks and bring in employer sanctions, to businesses hiring gig economy and zero-hours workers in sectors like food delivery, courier services and warehousing. This will apply to all roles, including public-facing delivery services who attend private properties.
