in today's video I'm going to be showing you how to prove your right to work in the United Kingdom
as an immigrant in this year first thing first what is a right to work a right to work in the
UK is your right to engage in activities or jobs that get you paid in the UK and this can depend on
a lot of things including the type of Visa that you have so if you have a work visa for example
that you are looking to work with a particular company one of the things that they are going to
need is your rights to work certificate and this can be gotten online as long as you have your BRP
with you this is something that you can get online I'm going to show you real quickly how you do that
to get your share code which I'm going to share with your employer in order to confirm your status
and your right to work in the United States so I am on my computer now all you need to do you
can do this on your phone or on your laptop what you need to do is to go to google.com and type in
right to first thing that you'll see is prove your right to work to an employer and it's by the gov
dot UK website so you see that it's gov.uk click on it and I'm going to be leaving the link also
in the description box below and then it tells you that you can prove your right to work to
an employer so in this instance you are going to be getting your share code it is this share code
that you are going to give to the employer and then the employer is going to do their check and
then they'll confirm that yes you can work in the United Kingdom but let's just dive into it because
you can walk more than 20 hours now you might need to have more than one company supplying you with
job because there's a lot of people looking out for jobs so they might not have unlimited work
hours for you so it is just wise for you to have three four you know agencies to work with so in
this case what you need to do is get on this page once you get on this page tells you that you can
share details of your right to work in the UK including the types of job you are allowed to
do how long you can work in the UK for and now it's telling you what you will need so you need
only one of the following you need your biometric resident permit number or your biometric residence
card number or your passport or national identity card now because you came into the UK on a work
visa or a student visa I would just say try and use your BRP of course everybody has BRP so I'm
going to be using BRP for this particular one and then if you're an employer you must view a jobs
applicants rights work details before you employ them so that one is a different one this is for
employers so now what you need to do is start now so you click on start now and it's going to bring
this for you so tell us about your immigration status I have UK visas or I have status or I
have a biometric resident cap or permit so I just click on this biometric residence card
or permit and continue so to ask you if you have a biometric resident card or permit yes
is also known as a Visa continue what they need is your number is the number on the upper right side
of your card as you can see if it's it is as you can see it is self-explanatory it is this number
on your card that you need so I'm just going to enter mine now and I'll click on continue it will
ask you for your date of birth so there you have it you get this page that categorically States
your full name so to state your name and say so you have permission to work in the UK from so
so time to so so time usually it's 12 December 2024 for everybody right now because there's a
change coming to BRP cards and BRP numbers by December 2024 so details on your current Visa
you must work for your sponsor while you are in the UK that's because I am on a work visa if
you are on a student visa you might see something different here and you can only work in the rules
described you can also work in a part-time job or 20 hours a week it's one of the following like I
said this 20 hours per week has been adjusted and you can work for as long as you can till August
of 2023 so this should not deter you from working on Limited hours until August 2023 what you need
to do is that you need to scroll down and see the instructions now they are saying do not give this
page to your employer it is not Proof of Your Right to Work so this in itself is not Proof of
Your Right to Work to share your details with an employer you need to create a share code so now we
are going to be creating a share code then here I have it these are the details to give to your
employer so this is my share code so wte blah blah blah blah so this particular code is what
I am going to copy is what I'm going to write out and send to the employer or the agency who wants
to confirm whether you have the right to work in the UK or not basically each share code that you
generate always has an expiry date so for this particular code it expires on 4th of July 2023
I can still share it with as many employers and agencies as I want until this particular date
and what to do next give the share code and your date of birth to the person you want to prove your
right to work to to see your right to work they must enter the share code and your date of bat
ads you know contact them to make sure they have all the information there and you know another
good thing that I love about all this is that you can actually just print this page and then scan it
to your employer so that they will know because basically some employers and some agencies they
are clueless about what to do in this situation they don't know for real they don't know what to
do so when you print out this page and you send to them they already see that they are supposed to go
to this place and they will just go there you get or another thing you can do is to send this code
by email so if you decide to send it by email it's going to ask you to enter the employer's email
address so once you enter the employer's email address and click on continue they'll just send
your share code automatically to the employer's email for the employer or the agency all they need
to do is to go to website stated by UK government www.gov.uk view rights to work and then they can
check a job applicant's right to work by using their share code they just click on start now and
it's going to ask for the share code they paste the share code and they click on continue enter
the date of birth of the employee and then they impute their own company name and so this is what
the employer or the agency is going to see so they will see that the person has permission to work in
the UK from social time until so time and the same details that you saw earlier on your own page this
is what they will be seeing on their own page also and in addition they are going to be telling them
to be careful and to avoid a penalty they need to check that you look like who is in the uh passport
photograph and then they need to keep a secure copy of this online check either electronically or
in hard copy and then they need to do this check again by the expiry date and they can also print
out this page or download it in PDF there you have it guys I hope that was helpful if it was
