Right to work checks for casual workers - updated guidance
24 Jun 2021
To engage casual staff at scale and ensure that there is no delay in the staff member receiving pay, hiring managers can now undertake right to work checks directly at the interview/recruitment stage
Everyone who works at our University must have their right to work status checked before they can begin work.
To alleviate any delays, especially when a large number of casual staff are being employed in one go, HR Services will enable right to work checks to be carried out by staff in areas where more than 20 casual staff are being employed in one go. HR Services will carry out checks where there are 20 or fewer, unless there is a specific agreement otherwise.
Full guidance on how to perform the check and supply the required documents to HR Services is available:
HR Services will still continue to set casual staff up on the HR and payroll systems, process timesheet claims and deal with general HR queries from casual workers and their managers.
If you know that you are going to engage more than 20 new casual workers in one month, please contact your Employment Services Officer to let them know. They will ensure that your requirement is built into our processing timetable, and provide you with guidance on how to perform the right to work checks locally.
