Why it matters

Why businesses pick CubeHR for compliance & right to work

  1. Avoid illegal employment fines

    Right to work checks are a legal requirement. CubeHR ensures no document expires without HR being notified, protecting your business from fines of up to £20,000 per worker.

  2. Always audit-ready

    Every compliance check, document, and action is logged with timestamps. When regulators or auditors ask, you produce the evidence instantly.

  3. Reduce compliance admin by 90%

    Automated alerts, expiry tracking, and centralised document storage replace manual spreadsheets, diary reminders, and paper filing systems.

In practice

What this actually looks like

Illustrative situations compliance & right to work is built for. They are examples rather than customer case studies.
  • Right to work expiry management

    The problem

    A hospitality company with 200 staff had no system for tracking visa expiry dates. Two employees were found to be working with expired visas during a Home Office audit.

    The outcome

    CubeHR's automatic expiry alerts now notify HR 90 days before any right to work document expires. Renewal workflows are triggered automatically. Zero compliance breaches since implementation.

  • DBS management for care sector

    The problem

    A care home group needed Enhanced DBS checks for all staff but was tracking them in a spreadsheet that was frequently out of date.

    The outcome

    CubeHR centralised all DBS records with automatic renewal reminders. The care home group passed their CQC inspection with commendation for their record-keeping.

Questions

Frequently asked

What right to work document types are supported?

UK passport, EU settled/pre-settled status, visa (all types), biometric residence permit, share codes, and more. The system is configurable for new document types as immigration rules change.

Does CubeHR replace the employer's legal obligation to check documents?

No. CubeHR helps you manage and track right to work checks, but the legal obligation to verify original documents remains with the employer. CubeHR ensures you don't miss expiry dates or forget to re-check.

How is sensitive compliance data protected?

Document copies are encrypted at rest. Access is restricted to HR and authorised managers only. All access to sensitive compliance data is logged in the audit trail.

Can we track industry-specific compliance requirements?

Yes. Custom compliance fields and document types can be configured for sector-specific requirements: FCA for finance, CQC for healthcare, Ofsted for education, and more.
