The UK government has an easy to use tool for checking someone's right to work, available at https://.gov.uk/legal-right-to-work-in-the-uk. As rules may change dependent on rulings either from the UK government or the European Union, this provides the most up-to-date source of information.

Your employment status is your legal status at work, and it affects what employment rights you have. There are three main types of employment status: an employee, a worker or being self-employed. Other statuses that do not fall neatly into these three categories, include office holder, director, trustee and volunteer.

Employment status defines a current or former employee's relationship with the organization they work for. An individual's employment status usually reveals important information about how the relationship functions, including how much time the individual works each week and whether the employer withholds income taxes.

To check if someone is employed or self-employed for tax purposes, use HMRC's Check Employment Status for Tax Tool.

Employer tracing is an excellent and covert way of finding out where the person in question works, so you can explore the possibilities of contacting them for your payment. At Tracenet Legal Services we carefully trace and check whether an individual is employed and then ascertain where they work.
