Right to work checks move border enforcement into the workplace.
These checks aren't required by law. They simply give employers a statutory excuse against civil penalties.
Migrants' futures are made dependent on error-prone digital services and automated decision-making. People live in fear with little control over their data.

Right to work checks in the UK, run through error-prone technology offered by an increasing number of third-party companies, put #migrants in precarious positions.
Many people have been unfairly dismissed from jobs and found that their data is outside of their control.
ORG, Migrants' Rights Network and Migrants at Work run the #ChallengeTheChecks campaign to uncover the data harms resulting from right to work checks.

While it’s illegal to employ someone without permission to work in the UK, there’s no legal obligation to carry out right to work checks.
To avoid the risk of not having a statutory excuse against civil penalties, employers are incentivised to carry out these checks.

Digital identity checks for migrants in the UK are error-prone and raise serious questions around personal data, data sharing and discrimination.
The Identity Document Validation Technology (IDVT) uses facial recognition technology that carries risks of racial bias.
The use of third party companies to the government means that personal data is at the mercy of others with little to no choice for the worker.

Our survey of migrants, refugees and asylum seekers with Positive Action in Housing found that most people worry about the UK government sharing their data with third-party organisations.
This is a reality experienced by migrants under right to work checks in the #DigitalHostileEnvironment.
Right to work checks on #migrants are run through apps run by a range of companies certified by the government as Identity Service Providers.
