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.

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.

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

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.

What is an Appendix D audit?

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.

An A-rating means the sponsor is fully compliant with their sponsor duties. A B-rating means they are subject to a Home Office action plan until issues are resolved.

How often is this data updated?

The Home Office publishes updates to the register regularly. HR CHECKED syncs with the latest published data.

What is the difference between Skilled Worker and Student routes?
