Most countries or jurisdictions have rules and laws that establish the conditions that allow a job applicant to work in a certain territory. This is usually called the 'Right to work'.
You can use Sage HR to:
Track the documents you have gathered as evidence of the right to work
Display and automate reminders for Managers when the right to work documentation is due to expire
Create reports to see which employee have the right to work status, expiry dates and missing information, based on the information provided.
What do I need to configure this?
