Question 1

What is HR CHECKED?

Accepted Answer

HR CHECKED is a UK sponsor licence compliance platform that automates Right to Work tracking, HC 1691 salary checks, Appendix D audit exports, and worker rights briefings for A-Rated sponsors.

Question 2

What is HC 1691?

Accepted Answer

HC 1691 is the March 2026 update to UK immigration rules that introduced per-pay-period salary floor checks for sponsored workers. Employers must verify that each individual pay period meets the going rate — not just the annual salary.

Question 3

How do I check if a company has a sponsor licence?

Accepted Answer

You can search the official Home Office Register of Licensed Sponsors using HR CHECKED's free Sponsor Licence Checker at hrchecked.com/sponsor-checker. The register is updated directly from GOV.UK data.

Question 4

What is an Appendix D audit?

Accepted Answer

Appendix D is the Home Office's record-keeping requirement for UK sponsors. It includes Right to Work checks, CoS details, salary records, timesheets, and worker rights briefings. HR CHECKED generates a one-click UKVI-ready Appendix D export.
