HyneSite brings biometric identity and right-to-work checks to construction and energy sites, covering your own workforce and every contractor in the chain.
Right-to-work checks used to stop at your payroll. From 1 October 2026 they follow the labour: subcontractors, agency staff, casual and gig workers. If they work on your site, you need to know they're allowed to.
Maximum civil penalty per illegal worker for a first breach.
Maximum per worker for a repeat breach within three years.
Illegal-working duties extend beyond employees to subcontracted, agency, casual and gig labour. New rules soon.
