Brexit: Evidence of Settled or Pre-settled status

Natasha

Hi everyone

I've been looking for information on this and haven't seen any updates since February 2020 - I guess this is because we became so consumed with Covid.

I have been trying to understand if HR and people professionals are requesting proof of status from their EU colleagues.  I understand that we should:

  • Ask colleagues their intentions to stay in the UK post-June 2021
  • Ask colleagues if they have applied or plan to apply for either settled or pre-settled status
  • Ask if they require any assistance.

However, what I cannot see is if there is a requirement on the part of the employer to keep evidence of their status and if so what is the evidence that we should store? I know that this will be a requirement when EU nationals join our UK team post December 2020.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

  • Might be a little late on this one but we’ve been encouraging employees to apply for the Pre Settled / Settled Status scheme and to keep us updated with the progress. If they have applied and been accepted we then get them to generate a share code with us which we can then check on the Government Website. The check will give you a PDF of the employees Right to Work which you can save and says how long you should keep it for. Please let me know if you would like any more info!
