In a world of AI tools, digital identity, and instant data access, Right to Work (RTW) compliance should be easy. But for many employers in 2025, it’s still a source of friction, inconsistency, and serious risk.

Our recent piece — The Alarming Reality of Right to Work Compliance — exposed just how vulnerable many organisations still are, from outdated check methods to inconsistent policies. And the reality is, these issues haven’t gone away — they’ve just evolved.

So why does RTW compliance continue to trip up even the most established employers?

2. Unclear ownership, with HR, hiring managers and ops teams all doing things differently

3. A lack of real-time visibility into compliance across the organisation

This leaves many businesses exposed to legal penalties, reputational damage, and operational disruption — especially in high-volume or high-turnover industries.

And in regulated, people-intensive sectors — like retail, logistics, care and hospitality — that complexity only multiplies.
