Is a driver's license proof of the right to work?

A driver's license is not a proof of right to work. A driver's license is proof that you are licensed to operate a vehicle but it does not prove your right to work in a given country. It is issued by the government and the issuance of such licenses varies from one country to another. A driver's license will only be an acceptable form of identification in some countries. In order for an individual to have the right to work, they must have a valid visa or work permit that allows them to legally reside and pursue employment in a particular country or jurisdiction.

Do employers need to check settled status for existing employees?

Employers need to check the status of their employees. If they are not eligible for settled status, employers will need to consider their options carefully. Employers should not just assume that if an employee has indefinite leave to remain (ILR or Permanent Residence) then they are automatically eligible for settled status. There are many other routes to ILR and these routes will have different eligibility criteria and requirements.
